Book Description
Soul of the Nilgiris is a photographic anthology that captures the authentic soul of the beautiful 'Blue Mountain' range deep in the western ghats of Southern India called the Nilgiris. Researched, photographed by and written by Ramya Reddy over the past seven years, it is a collaboration between like-minded individuals whose ties with the Nilgiris are nothing short of sacred.Told artfully, through photographs, art and creative prose which is a combination of ancient wisdom and personal narratives interwoven with folklore and real stories, the book explores the region's true and treasured cultural, spiritual, artistic and ecological traditions, with an active involvement from the experts in the area and importantly, the indigenous community- which has been a vital component of the project.
