PadmavatiA story, a history and a mirror held up against today s foibles; men and women described in detail; an image of India that lives. Katha takes great pleasure in presenting to you A Madhaviah, writer par excellence in a sparkling translation by Meenakshi Tyagarajan. Superb illustrations from none other than M Krishnan, the well-known wildlife photographer and spokesman for nature. |
