22 YEARS – A KASHMIR STORY
0₹295.00About The Book
“This book is ON Kashmir and Kashmir ALONE. As the title implies, one lakh Pandit families may have one lakh stories to tell. This book, 22 Years, is the story of one such émigré Kashmiri, Billu, who returns to the beautiful valley of Srinagar after twenty-two years of self-imposed exile. He not only breaks a vow, he falls in love once again with the land of his birth as all his childhood and growing up memories rush back to hug him and tie him to his roots.
Much like Rushdie’s Shalimar, ‘There were narcissi from the banks of rushing rivers and peonies from the high meadows growing on his chest…’ At the same time, with memories return all his fears that made him flee Srinagar in 1989, ahead of his community, before the secessionist fury of communalism had engulfed the valley. In Kashmiri poet Ayaz Rasool Nazki’s words: ‘I am the Nostradamus of your age. I saw it happen. Before my time. And so was blinded…. They made a mistake. They forgot about me. I wasn’t awake. I wasn’t asleep either.’ Bill Koul was writing his story. This story.

The Land of Shiva: Ujjain, Kashi and Kedarnath
0₹1,999.00About the Book
The Land of Shiva is a visual narrative tribute to three of India’s most sacred Shaivite sites—Kashi, Ujjain, and Kedarnath—where mythology, devotion, and history converge. This coffee-table book explores these timeless cities not only as ancient spiritual centres but also as living symbols of India’s cultural resurgence.
For centuries, these places have drawn saints, seekers, scholars, and emperors—each adding to their spiritual resonance. Kashi, believed to be the oldest living city in the world, is where time dissolves into eternity at the ghats of the Ganga. Ujjain, the city of Mahakal, pulses with cosmic energy, where Shiva is worshipped as the lord of time. Kedarnath, nestled in the Himalayas, stands as a symbol of endurance, devotion, and divine presence amidst nature’s raw grandeur.
In recent years, under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, these ancient tirthas have undergone a remarkable transformation—ushering in a new cultural renaissance. The creation of the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, the majestic expansion of Mahakal Lok in Ujjain, and the reconstruction of Kedarnath Dham after the 2013 calamity have not only restored physical spaces but have reignited spiritual pride and national identity. These developments embody a broader movement—a reclaiming of India’s civilisational ethos, where infrastructure serves spirituality and the past inspires the future.
Blending storytelling with stunning visuals, The Land of Shiva chronicles this renaissance—of temples, towns, and timeless beliefs. It captures the spiritual vibrance, architectural grandeur, and the collective pride of a nation reconnecting with its roots while confidently stepping into the future.
