Raghu Rai, the celebrated Indian photographer, passed away on April 26, 2023, in Delhi after a courageous battle with cancer. Renowned for his ability to elevate the mundane to the extraordinary, Rai's photography encapsulated the essence of everyday life in India. His lens captured pivotal moments across iconic locations, such as a farmer gathering fodder against the backdrop of Humayun’s Tomb in Delhi in 1966, and the bustling scene of the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel overlooking the Gateway of India in the 1970s. Rai's intimate portraits, like elderly men outside Birla Mandir in Delhi in 1973, reveal the simplicity of routine life. His stunning depiction of the Taj Mahal in Agra in 1982 transformed this familiar monument into a poetic vision, while his early documentation of the Pushkar Camel Fair in 1994 showcased the vibrant energy of the event long before it became a travel trend. Through his work, Rai has left a timeless visual legacy that continues to resonate with audiences.
