According to Satish Sharma portrait photographs in India are "dictated by a belief system that sees the world as maya – an illusion. The photograph now becomes an illustration of an illusion. It draws not just on a religious belief in maya but seems to see life as a leela – a play – enacted theatre" (Sharma 1997: unpaginated).
