The photographs in Pilgrim India were taken along the Ganges in northern India between 1966 and 2007. Most were taken at well-known places of pilgrimage along the River – Hardwar, where the Ganges emerges from the Himalayas and enters the plains; Allahabad and Varanasi, located between New Delhi and Calcutta; and Sagar Island, south of Calcutta, where the Ganges finishes its course at the Bay of Bengal.
The color photographs show the principal source of the Ganges (there are three others), a glacier some seventeen kilometers above Gangotri, at the base of the Himalayas. Pilgrims wishing to visit theis auspicious glacier must make the journey on foot.
