dedicated to making the wonders of the cosmos accessible to all. With decades of experience.
As a software engineer with a deep appreciation for Art and Astronomy, I am dedicated to sharing the wonders of the cosmos with others. My journey with Astronomy began 11 years ago, and since then, my passion for Astronomy has only grown, inspiring me to create and lead detailed stargazing and astrophotography workshop events. Through these experiences, I aim to make the universe’s beauty accessible to everyone—whether seasoned enthusiasts or complete beginners.
Trying to do everything possible or get a chance....
Our Astronomy Events are immersive experiences where participants can explore the skies through high-end telescopes, equipped to observe a wide array of celestial objects, from the nearby solar system to distant stars, galaxies, and nebulae. Each event is designed to take attendees on a journey from the basics of stargazing to understanding complex celestial phenomena, enabling them to witness the grandeur of the universe with unparalleled clarity.
The Enrichment of our Astronomy Workshops & Events
Held across India, from the southern beaches to the northern mountain ranges, each camp is a gateway to cosmic exploration. Recently, we have had the pleasure of organizing Astro-Tour in Ladakh, an area renowned for its crystal-clear skies and pristine atmosphere, providing one of the most breathtaking stargazing experiences globally. In these serene locations, our Events offer a rare opportunity to observe & capture the heavens in stunning detail, fostering an awe-inspiring and educational experience for singles, couples, families, and groups. We are committed to go Ladakh every year.
