HISTORIC AND FAMED CITIES OF INDIA series...

Edited by Malvika Singh, here’s a series of six books, which offers its readers the delight of ‘a literary walk-through’ of some of the most remarkable cities of India.

Elegant writings by a host of accomplished writers capture charm and tradition on one hand, transition and paradox on the other. There is every flavour to bring up the uniqueness of the city as time has seen it emerge, as much as the mind has felt inspired to pen it down.
