A photography exhibition featuring the works of nine photographers who found their own beat to India's rhythm.

Commonly regarded as one of the beacons of modern India, Bangalore or Bengaluru has made a name for its IT firms and international business relations. Yet somewhere in this cosmopolitan hustle-bustle is an eclectic traditional charm that sweeps the city into a mind-boggling mix.

Bengaluru Rush features images by participants of the workshop led by US-based photo-essayist David H Wells. The photographers - Birgit Voogt, Deanna Ng, Jean Qingwen Loo, Karen Lucas, Kelvin Theseira, Melissa de Silva, Ng Boon Cheng, Paul Seow and Savita Rao - visited Bangalore and Mysore for a week in November 2008.

From wandering around old neighbourhoods to parking themselves at busy street junctions, the group experienced the most of Karnataka state’s capital and got a taste of its daily buzz. For most of them who were first-timers to India, Bangalore’s friendly folks were the perfect welcome.

The images on exhibition are for sale.

The photographers will donate 20 percent of the proceeds to SoCare Ind, a foster home for 104 children whose parents are convicts facing life or long-term imprisonment in Karnataka state’s jail system. The home provides free boarding, healthcare and education for the children and depends on donations and volunteers to function.
