Soul of the Nilgiris

Soul of the Nilgiris is a labour of love and an ode to the magic mountain light. It is the story of a place told through a personal tapestry of oral narratives, conversations, writings and over 300 photographs – taken over nine years, drawn from the creative abundance of a millennia-old mountain land and her centuries-old inhabitants. The book traverses the cultural, ecological, colonial and the now drastically altered landscape of the Blue Mountains situated in the Western Ghat region of southern India, while attempting to draw attention to the lives of its indigenous people.

All profits from sale of this book will be donated to Keystone Foundation, an eco-development not for profit trust based in the Nilgiris.
