About the book ? This book is a humble effort to relive that era in which this treasure of aesthetics and creativity took place and draw a map for the generations to come. The endeavor has been to delve deep in the era and be the one with the impulse of the artists who produced such amazing works even in their naivete and innocence with a spontaneity that is known only to a child. Along with this there is great creativity and abstraction in the paintings, which even those who have formally gone to art schools to learn painting. I have also tried to understand the life-style of the artists of the era gone by. Mine is a simple effort to preserve and cherish these vanishing treasures. It is a journey to the times when these artists painted myth and reality on the ceilings and the walls of the havelis. It is an interaction with everlasting hues of pigments and compositions created with passion.
