Nemai Ghosh first met auteur Satyajit Ray in Rampurhat, a sleepy little town in West Bengal, where he was shooting Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne in 1968. Everything about Ray intrigued Ghosh, and the latter’s two rolls of black-and-white film were finished in no time. The two forged a deep friendship, and Ghosh became his photo-biographer. Ghosh’s unpublished colour photographs of Ray are like a forgotten treasure trove. A new exhibition in Delhi focuses on them.
