If you go to Jaipur, do get yourself photographed by Tikam Chand ji, the photographer of the more than 150-year-old wooden box camera. He can be seen sitting with his ‘magic box’ camera near the Hawa Mahal. His camera is unique to him. This camera of the Tikam Chand family has been providing livelihood to the family for 3 generations since the 1860s. This camera is not just a tool, but also a time traveller creating memories.
You will find a fine vintage camera of the 1860s not in any museum but on the street with Tikam Chand. Many VIPs have sat in front of his camera.
