  I am a dedicated photo artist, known in photographic circles as Ritam. I have a deep focus on nature photography, especially birds. My work has earned prizes and recognition in international contests. As a poet, I compose poems inspired by my images, blending photography and poetry into a harmonious synthesis. My photo-poetic exhibitions have been showcased in Russia, India, and beyond. My main aim and inspiration is to share in the living communion with the sublime, all-embracing soul of the universe, with the beauty of the world as Her grand, miraculous expression, and our own soul of beauty and harmony as Her living particle.
