BANARAS,
SHIVA'S ETERNAL CITY
By Pramesh Ratnakar
Varanasi
(or Banaras), the maddening, mysterious nerve centre of
India's spiritual life, is also a paradigm of modern India's
five-thousand-year-old conflict with its spiritual legacy.
This splendidly illustrated book focuses on all who inhabit
Banaras-the sanyasis, the priests, the young Banarasis
(citizens of Banaras), the households, the widows and
on those who sustain and perpetuate the concepts of life
and death that animate this city. |

Thar:
The Great Indian Desert
By
R.C. Sharma
The Thar Desert has been immortalized in history
as Maroosthali, the harsh, hostile and merciless land.Through
the centuries, visitors have romanticized this Great
Indian Desert-but for the local people, each day is
a battle for survival against the creeping sands, shifting
dunes, erratic weather, hot winds and long droughts.
Illustrated with breathtaking pictures, this book documents
the reality of this colourful wasteland of India.

NEPAL:
THE HIMALAYAN KINGDOM
Photographs by Mani Lama
Nepal-the abode of gods-the beautiful mountain valley
that lies in the lap of the snow-capped Himalayas is a
fascinating tourist destination. It is a centre of Buddhist
pilgrimage, a trekker's delight, a treasure-bed of flora
and fauna, a haven for shoppers. Though open and receptive
to Western ideas, Nepal has successfully retained its
mystique to this day, as is lovingly delineated by the
author. |

INDIA
By Antara Dev Sen
The true charm of India runs beyond its ancient traditions,
the beauty of its blue seas, golden sunshine or silvered
mountains. It lies in the careful balancing of its
heritage with the everchanging reality of the present.
Out of the interplay of conflicting cultures and beliefs,
India, incredibly resilient, has etched out an identity
for herself that is both unique and engaging. This
book gives glimpses of that India.
