Books by Rajan Kapoor

Photography has always been much more than a creative pursuit for me—it has been a way of exploring the world, understanding cultures and preserving moments that words alone cannot express. Yet there are stories that a single photograph cannot fully tell. Books have given me the opportunity to weave together images, history, research and personal experiences into a more complete narrative.

Pushkar Book Launch.avi

My first published work, Brahma's Pushkar: Ancient Indian Pilgrimage, was co-authored with the renowned historian and heritage conservationist Aman Nath. The book explores the rich history, architecture and spiritual traditions of one of India's oldest pilgrimage towns, combining historical insight with an extensive photographic journey through Pushkar's timeless landscape.

CHAI-The Experience of Indian Tea - DD News & DD National

This was followed by CHAI: The Experience of Indian Tea, co-authored with Rekha Sarin, whose beautifully written text complements my photographic exploration of India's tea gardens, traditions and people. The book received exceptional recognition, including the Best Pictorial Book Award in India (2014), the prestigious Gourmand World Cookbook Award – First Prize in the World (2014), presented in association with Le Cordon Bleu, France, inclusion in the UNESCO Heritage List, and the Publisher Award – First Prize in India.

Serengeti Wild Wonders of Africa

My most recent work, The Serengeti: Wild Wonders of Africa, reflects my enduring fascination with one of the world's greatest ecosystems. Through photography and storytelling, it explores the extraordinary wildlife, vast landscapes and delicate balance of life that make the Serengeti one of nature's most remarkable wonders.

Every book has been a journey of discovery. Each has allowed me to combine my passion for photography with research, travel and storytelling, creating works that I hope will inspire readers to look more closely, travel more thoughtfully and appreciate the beauty, heritage and diversity of our world.
