Saurashtra, Gujarat 1968

Jyoti Bhatt's 1968 black and white photograph, "Saurashtra, Gujarat," depicts a group of men, dressed in white garments and traditional headwear, gathered in a circle on the ground. The photograph, likely taken from above, captures the men engaged in an activity that is not explicitly shown, perhaps a game or a religious ceremony. The image embodies the starkness and simplicity of daily life in the region, showcasing Bhatt's commitment to documenting social rituals and everyday practices through his photographic lens. The image is a powerful example of documentary photography that highlights cultural traditions and social interactions.
