Regalia of architectural wonder!
The quest to explore the marvels of majestic Asafi Imambara is on for lensman Ajaish Jaiswal. After coming up with seven solo photography exhibitions, based on the different aspects of the heritage site built by Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula in 1783, Jaiswal has titled his exhibit Regalia. It is inspired by the intricate carvings done on the huge structure that houses the world-famous Bhool Bulaiya.
Jaiswal has displayed 36 photographs in monochrome except one.
“Just as jewels adorn a woman similarly the carvings textures and intricacies beautifully highlight the beauty of the columns, arches and motifs in this building. Though it’s said to be Mughal architecture but it’s an amalgamation of Indian, Italian, French, Persian and Iranian designs.”
The monochrome tones have been used with an

intention to being out best of the designs. “The colours of carvings have faded colours over the centuries so I kept it in mono colour but have used blue tones to enhance the motifs. Just one coloured photo has been used to break the monotony,” adds Jaiswal.
The exhibition that will be up for display at Kala Srot Art gallery till April 6 was inaugurated by ace lensman Anil Risal Singh. Jaiswal has also displayed his photo in Romania and won special honour for the same. His last exhibition was based on kathak as a dance form. Jaiswal has done a number of he tragic death of a young female doctor by suicide last week due to coercion by angry relatives of a patient, who had died under her care, has stunned the medical profession and society.
From press reports I gathered that Dr Archana Sharma (in Rajasthan) was attending to a female patient who had bled massively from the uterus following childbirth, and whom she was unable to save.
Agitated relatives had accused her of negligence, had barged into the local police station, and then went on to press the charge of murder. The police had obligingly cooperated, leaving the female doctor helplessly alone and deeply hurt.
In her desperation and as a vindication of her innocence Dr group shows all over India and in Nepal.
“Our rich culture inspires me. I have been fond of photography since childhood and have over the years learnt from very able lensmen but I still consider myself as an amateur photographer. I am happy that my work is being displayed at UP Tourism website and many other prestigious places,” adds Jaiswal, an hotelier by profession.
The camera artist feels more can be done on the architecture wonder. “I have more concepts that I can work upon but unfortunately photography has been banned
Sharma chose to end her life, leaving behind two children and her husband. In her suicide note she stated that she had done no wrong, but had been unable to save the patient.
Post-partum bleeding can sometimes be very massive and kill within minutes despite transfusion of large amounts of blood as well as medicines, uterine packing and rarely requiring emergency surgery. This unfortunate event is a reflection of several social beliefs and practices that we need to face up.
For one, we are getting increasingly intolerant of the fact that death can indeed occur in critical conditions despite the best of interventions. Then whenever a patient dies, our society believes that it has to be somebody’s fault! We seem obsessed to ascribe culpability and hound someone till in the monument. Hope they soon will be allowed the same, maybe for a price, so that the beauty of the historical wonder can be spread across the world,” he shares.
Photography lovers and prominent Lucknowites turned up to have a look at his work of art. punishment is meted.
It is amusing to see the CCTV footage of road traffic accidents for instance; the relative is often seen running after the offending vehicle rather than attending to the victim lying on the road.
There is no space for doctors to fail in their human efforts. I wish members of the society in other walks of life, of say a place like Dausa in Rajasthan, hold themselves to such unreasonably high standards too.
Even more shocking was the role of the police who seemed be saving their backs from an unreasonable*
Dr Shobhit Chawla and Ashutosh Singh agitated mob, rather than defending a helpless female doctor being victimized and coerced.
The reason why young doctors choose not to settle in small towns and villages should be evident by now. They flock to big towns and cities, not just for money, but for better living conditions, and better security.
I shuddered to think what I could have done had I been in her place.
The government machinery needs to take urgent corrective steps and instill confidence in young medicos if they want doctors to serve in smaller places.
