Sourav Mahant has been nominated as an exhibitor for the 'AURA 2024 - International Photography & Art Exhibition'. This prestigious event, organized by Retro Kolkata Magazine, is scheduled to take place at Nazrul Tirtha, Newtown, Kolkata, from January 13 to January 21, 2024.
Hailing from the small village of Dhaman in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, Mahant is a BCA graduate who has embraced his passion for nature and wildlife photography as a full-time freelancer. His journey from a small village to an international platform is a testament to his dedication and talent in the field of photography.
The exhibition is divided into two parts: the art exhibition, which will run from January 13 to January 15, and the photography exhibition, from January 18 to January 20. This bifurcation allows distinct focus on different forms of visual artistry, providing a platform for artists like Mahant to showcase their work to a wider audience.
Apart from his photographic pursuits, Mahant is an avid cyclist, trekker, and naturalist. His aspirations to become a professional nature and wildlife photographer and filmmaker are deeply embedded in his love for the natural world. This event is expected to propel him further towards achieving his professional goals.
The culmination of 'AURA 2024' will be marked by a felicitation ceremony on January 21, celebrating the achievements and contributions of the exhibitors. Mahant's participation in this international event not only highlights his individual achievements but also shines a light on the rich talent emerging from rural India.
