    My name is Alex Novo, I’m a photographer.

    The world without photography will be meaningless to us if there is no light and color, which opens up our minds and expresses passion.

    Flowers and firecrackers, incense and oil lamps, clapping and chanting, faith and frenzy; and larger-than-life idols take centre stage on Mumbai's streets like a theatrical tableaux on Ganesha - The God of All Things. There is no containing the immensity of devotion for the elephant headed, pot bellied God when it is time for Ganesh Chaturthi. Faith spills out into the streets and sweeps the city in a surge of festive fervour. God of All Things is a photo exploration that spotlights the cultural practice of idol worship and the resulting environmental aftermath.
