A Tale of 3 Cities - Kolkata, Goa and Mathura: Doors, derelict rooms and random items such as bells may not sound particularly intriguing. But Indian photographer Ajay Rajgarhia explores the beauty in the mundane and dilapidated, in his first-ever solo exhibition here.

Gathered from his travels across India, these photos (including Behind Closed Doors and Ring for Divinity) tell the stories of people and places in the cities of Kolkata, Mathura and Goa.
