Gokarna beach Town

Since 2008 i traveling in India with an intention to know this great country with such a different culture then mine. So after many trips there, I was fascinated to find that some places shows this timeless power of life, where secular conceptions and cultural influences converge. Particulary along the beach of Gokarna, far from the tourist route, the lifestyle of the local doesn't have change so much from centuries. Every day hundreds of pilgrims visit the ancient temples and then pour on the beaches, traditionally lived by fishermen. Here the people tend to preserve traditional customs, gestures and to more faithfully respect the norms of social behavior prescribed in the ancient Vedic sacred texts. I tried to translate all this experience into essential images, capable of transmitting emotions that I had felt. With this spirit i have photograph the ocean beach of Gokarna and it s people, which I present some fragments. As a result a strong and powerful sense of timelessness emerges where i find that my journeys have find something unique. In this sense, it is relevant to me that cultural and social history shows me signs of memory that still remain today. So the spirit of the time, the rites and cultures, the density of social processes, the structure of common life, condense and emerge, with an imposing truth.
