Description
Splashed with legends, episodes from history, lights on unforgettable character old and new, this lyrical narrative, takes us on a unique journey through India, offering us a rare glimpse of a resplendent psyche.
Here tradition and modernity jostle for space heedless of the passage of time. Cities tracing their genesis to the early twilights of time and myths and legends peeping from several niches of daily life. Yet, the work documents flashes of history and records the changes wrought on the façade of the land.
