2008 Brochure


This is the first brochure which I designed. One side contains the text and exhibition details in English, the other side carries the same in Kannada. Two paintings that adorn the brochure were specially commissioned by the artist Sri Raghupati Bhat. One depicts Devi Jnaneshwari, the goddess of knowledge and the other illustrates the phrase 'prajvalito jnanamayah pradeepah' from the 2nd verse of Bhagavadgita which means, let the lamp of knowledge glow brilliantly.

The main text in english was written specially for this brochure by wellknown mythologist Dr. Devdutt Pattanaik of Mumbai. This text is given in the first post of this blog. The same was translated to Kannada by Prof. Panditaradhya of Institute of Kannada Studies, Mysore. All photographs are by me.
