🌸✨ Wishing everyone a joyful and blessed Rath Yatra! ✨🌸

This Rath Yatra, dive into the captivating world of patachitra with Anita Bose’s extraordinary book — 'Patachitra of Odisha'.

📖 Why This Book?
Few know that during the sacred interval between Snan Yatra and Rath Yatra, the deities at the Jagannath Temple are worshipped not through idols, but through patachitra — exquisite traditional paintings. This art form isn’t just beautiful; it’s a living, breathing part of temple rituals and everyday devotion in Odisha.

In this beautifully crafted book, Anita Bose traces the history, symbolism, and cultural importance of patachitra — from its origins to its thriving presence today in places like Raghurajpur, where entire communities bring the stories of Lord Jagannatha to life through brush and color.

A must-read for lovers of Indian heritage, art, and storytelling.

📦 Now available on Amazon!

The seventh-most spoken language in the world, Bengali is home to some of the most distinctive poetry ever written anywhere. Starting with the later poems of Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, there has been a long and continuous line of modern poetry in the language, its span ranging from lyrical love poems to passionate political verse, from expressions of existential anguish to psychological explorations.

Selected and translated by Arunava Sinha, 'Modern Bengali Poetry: Desire for Fire' celebrates over one hundred years of this poetry from the two Bengals―the eastern Indian state and the country of Bangladesh―represented by over fifty different poets and a multitude of forms and styles.💛
