UNITED KINGDOM – A visually intoxicating feast for the senses, Bharat Katha (India Story in Sanskrit) shares the ten-year milestone of the Bharat Katha Project (the author/artist’s one-man project to celebrate India), with the publication of its self-titled book.
Exquisitely produced (on silk paper) and bursting with images, real life stories and QR codes to access music and movies, author Nitin Krishen immerses his readers in the daily routines of his photographic subjects as well as the sub-continent’s vibrancy, intensity and mysticism.
Celebrating a place like no other on earth, the efforts of this talented photographer, artists and storyteller have been recognised by such esteemed organisations as The New York Times and New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
A visual and literary triumph, Bharat Katha not only makes for a stunning coffee-table addition, but opens readers up to a world that transfixes and one we would all wish to experience first-hand.

Book Reviews:
“Nitin - the book is beautiful! The photo reproduction, the photos themselves, the stories, I love it!!! “ - Jeffrey Gettleman – The New York Times
“What immediately strikes one in these gorgeous pictures is how Nitin has gained his subjects’ trust, making the portraits in this book honest, fascinating, and immensely likeable. For many years, Nitin has wandered India with his camera, recording sympathetic and philosophical interviews with people he comes across in all their variety. To these video interviews is now added this lovely book of portraits, a visual diary of Nitin’s wanderings. To enter the book is to travel with him.” – Dictynna Hood – writer/director
