PESHAWAR

Continuously populated since around 500 BC, Peshawar was once known as Purusapura, A Sanskrit word for the “city of men”. The city itself being one of the oldest in South Asia has been the center of learning and trade and has stood the arrival of many empires. Alexander is said to have conquered and passed through the city in 327 BC.

Documenting life in Peshawar is one of my main projects that has been ongoing since 2018, each year, I try to visit as much as I can, But I hope, one day of turning it into something of a portal, a coffee table book, of memories of a city that gave me a beginning.
