Sarasvati Di Khoj
Sapna K
Legend has it that the Lord of Wind and Water heard the princess, Phulann Rani, singing while bathing in the sacred waters of the River Sarasvati in the Cholisthan Desert.
The lord fell in love with the princess, and desired to take her to his abode in Mount Kallash in the high Himalayas. Infuriated by her refusal to submit to his wishes, he ordered wind and water to destroy Fort Murrot and everything around it. To thwart the lord, the River Sarasvati changed its course and vanished, taking with it all but the faintest legend of what once lived on its banks.
The only trace of this bygone civilization that now exists is on the faces of its people, forever travelling through the drifting sands in search of their lost River. Photographer Sapna Khan followed them on their trail through the land long since abandoned by Sarasvati, and witnessed their unwavering determination to bring her home once again.
The Secret Keeper
Sapna K
Pakistan is the keeper of secrets. Be it in the majestically towering mountains or the deserts doused in silky sands, these secrets live on.
You can hear them being whispered softly from the lips of the mystic whirling to the beat of the dhol, or the sage nestled deep in the Valley of Hunza.
