N. Ravi launches two books by V.N. Srinivasa Desikan and J. Sumathi
Two books, Kaveripakkam - History and Art Traditions by V. N. Srinivasa Desikan and Historical Perspectives of Domestic Architecture in Kanchipuram by J. Sumathi, were released at an event at C.P.R. Institute of Indological Research at the C.P. Ramaswami Aiyar Foundation here on Saturday.
Releasing the books, N. Ravi, Publisher, The Hindu Group, said the Foundation had been a custodian of art, heritage and culture and their contributions in organising events, including lectures, workshops and exhibitions was laudable.
On the book by Mr. Srinivasa Desikan, scholar, art historian and curator, Bronze Gallery, Government Museum, Chennai, Mr. Ravi said it helped fill critical gaps in understanding history, art and architecture of this part of the country. This work was a fascinating study that brought together ancient history, epigraphy and art history.
