Dr Glenn Losack The Rebel Shoots The Temple Of Bells

Glenn Losack eminent world famous photographer ,practicing psychiatrist from New York Manhattan is a rare Indophile ,he loves India immensely , he does not  take tourist shots but reality as we breathe and see it.

He has done a thesis on lepers , mindless people and will be doing a paper in depth study of Beggars in India ..he has helped a lot of charitable institutions and poor people privately.

I bought him here to shoot the iconic Ghanteshwar Temple , Khar .Glenn just loved the ambiance the surroundings the people , even the priest of the Temple was impressed with his Hindi.

And this temple can be a major spiritual pilgrimage of Mumbai  to those lovers devotees of Lord Hanuman , but than we hardly appreciate our heritage it is the foreigner who takes pride in it more than us.


And this was the first time Glenn met me he had flown down from New York to shoot Moharam in Mumbai with me and document the Shias .,Chehlum the 40 th Day Of Imam Hussain s Martyrdom.

I took him to Haji Malang too ,making him climb the Malangad Mountains to reach the Holy Shrine on top.

But Glenn loves the Haji Ali Dargah and most of his free time were spent there , with the beggars who became his best friends , the man who loves him a lot is Mohomed Islam a beggar who is just a torso with hands on a cart.

So the Temple of Bells is memories as bells ..each bell a story retells ,,caught in a magical spell.. for it is here within the silent sounds of the bells the Lord dwells
