Rasa Yatra has about fifty carefully framed photographs in the collection featuring some amazing portraits of people, pilgrims and priests beside pristine sites, in engaging situations or behind the scenes. The collection discovers the vibrant spiritual culture of India through the eyes of a young, talented photographer and filmmaker whose empathy for the natural environment resonate through his photo montage.

Turning away from a promising career in the commercial film and advertisement industries, at eighteen years of age Param Tomanec embarked on a journey of rediscovery. This call to adventure led him to a joining a spiritual yoga ashram of Krishna tradition, north of London in 1997. While based in the monastic community, Param worked on photographic documentaries in eastern Africa, Asia, and Europe. Since 2005 he has been living in Oxford, UK. Param s creativity is largely inspired by Eastern traditions with artists like Andrei Tarkovsky, Akira Kurosawa and Henri Cartier-Bresson bringing influences into his work. In 2009 was appointed as Artist-in-Residence at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, a recognized independent centre of the University of Oxford. Works of his belong to the permanent collection of the Museum of Sacred Art in Belgium and are in growing number of private collections.
