A Tribute to Bundela Painting
ISBN: 978-8193208564
Author & Publication Design
This exhaustive research is a long pending effort at documenting the fading imprints of the Bundela Kalam. Focusing mainly on the erstwhile Bundela centers of Orchha and Datia in Central India, the volume starts off with a thorough investigation of the historical and cultural background of Bundelkhand, trying to understand the many contributing factors. A comparative analysis of extant manuscripts belonging to the Bundela Kalam is then pursued vigorously before a scintillating galaxy of vibrant Bundela murals is unveiled. With this pioneering photographic documentation, making use of the latest medium format optical gadgetry, the author has successfully captured the true essence of Bundela Kalam even in its somewhat dilapidated state. Studded with specially commissioned imagery, the book opens up many new avenues hitherto unassociated with painting traditions of medieval Bundelkhand. Size of the book: Coffee Table Book Format – (12 inch X 12 inch )
“Ankita’s narrative is carefully woven with the temporal and spatial sequence of norm and form, and provides a broad view of the change, through 16th to 19th century A.D, from an energetic, fluent, vivid and volumetric style to a more sedate, heavy handed, pedestrian and linear style. She shows the juxtaposition and fusion of styles in the transitions from Mughal through Rajput to colonial themes, motifs and dresses, in a comparative overview of mahals and chattris at Orchha, Datia and Bundelkhand. Her photographs bring out the turbulent vigour, ebullience and folksy intimacy of the Bundela Kalam, and its polychromatic use of material, to emphasize the malleability of stone, as against the courtly, aristocratic, restrained Mughal and Central Asian mural tradition.” Excerpts from Foreword by Dr. Kalyan Kumar Chakravarty

Author & Publication Design
Winner of the National Tourism Award under the Category – ” Excellence in Publishing in English. The Magic of Mandu – ” Suhur-e-Shaadiabad” (The Medieval Metropolis of Malwa) This collaborative effort was aimed at recreating the lost splendor of Mandu – a medieval metropolis – that thrived between 1401-1650 CE and went on to become the largest fortified capital in the whole world. With its multi-cultural beginnings, Mandu evolved as an originator of art and architecture in Indian Subcontinent. But all that is past and forgotten! “The Magic of Mandu” wants to set right the historical facts and accord Mandu the stature and respect it rightfully deserves. By making use of specially commissioned artistic visualizations, an attempt was made to depict Mandu as it looked in its heydays. In the very heart of the Indian Subcontinent, “Highlands of Central India” constitute an important landscape that has fostered human population since time immemorial. To its north-west, an extended elevated plateau of volcanic origin “Malwa” nurtured by a plethora of criss-crossing rivers, presented the most congenial climatic conditions for human habitation. This otherwise dull landscape is sprinkled with low-rise isolated hillocks, generally devoid of human presence. However, one such prominent outcrop went beyond the obvious and reached the zenith of urban sophistication. Size of the book: Coffee Table Book Format – (8 inch X 8 inch )
