Reviews

William Dalrymple

Published Date:- August 30, 2020

‘A brilliant and constantly surprising series of images by a major new talent in Indian photography.’ ‘Parul Sharma has caught a unique moment in Indian history, producing a startling portfolio of a locked-down, masked, visored, sanitized, padlocked and disinfected Delhi, almost empty of its people and taken over by bored jawans and preening monkeys. Never has the Indian capital looked so unfamiliar, or so surreal.’

Steve Mccurry

‘Parul Sharma has created a unique visual story of the pandemic through a series of images that capture a deserted India. It depicts an unfamiliar Delhi that I have never encountered.’
