The Chinese Takeaway

The images range from humorous moments — a monk dressed in white satin balancing on one foot with his hands arched backwards — to natural beauty — the misty white waters of the Nuorilang waterfalls surrounded by abundant flora. Over a dozen images are on display,showcasing the diversity of Sichuan,a South-Western province of China,which boasts most of the country’s heritage sites and a vibrant cultural scene among others. One image shows a face-painted performer spitting fire during a festival in the town of Dan Ba. Another captures a playful family of giant pandas on the mountain slopes the Hengduan mountain ranges,which have been a safe sanctuary for this endangered species for centuries.

The images are from the Chinese Embassy’s collection in Delhi.

The exhibition is being held at AIFACS,Rafi Marg,till April 30.
