Three Wheels, One Vision: India through Tuktuk

In January 2024, a dinner conversation in London sparked an audacious idea: a 3,000-kilometre tuktuk expedition from Rameshwaram in South India to Bhuj in the West. What began as a wild notion quickly transformed into a purposeful adventure—raising awareness and support for Shishukunj International’s mission to improve educational infrastructure in Bhuj.

Over 12 days, Jayu Shah spent nine hours a day navigating India’s vibrant, chaotic roads in tiny three-wheeled tuktuks. The journey was as challenging as it was exhilarating. Locals he met along the way were stunned by our mode of travel, and he was equally stunned by the warmth and curiosity we encountered.

This exhibition captures the spirit of that ride: the slow rhythm of travel, the roadside karak chai, the friendships forged through shared breakdowns and breakthroughs. Most of all, it celebrates the everyday beauty of India—moments glimpsed from the passenger seat and frozen through the lens.

About the photographer

Jayu Shah photographic journey began at age 11, when he received his first camera—a gift that sparked a lifelong passion for capturing fleeting moments. Since then, photography has become his way of celebrating the beauty in the everyday and revealing the quiet simplicity that often escapes notice.

Today, he shoot with his beloved companions: the Leica Q3. The fixed lenses challenge him to slow down, observe more deeply, and compose each frame with intention. Though separated by decades, both cameras share a timeless ability to inspire, reminding him that storytelling through imagery transcends technology.

This collection reflects that ethos—an invitation to see the world not just as it is, but as it feels.
