Pramod Kumar KG’s session on 24th January, 6 pm – 7 pm will be on his title Posing for Posterity: Royal Indian Portraits, which has been published by Roli Books. He will also be giving an introduction note on ‘Nainsukh’ by B. N. Goswamy on 27th January, 6 pm – 7pm.
Posing for Posterity: Royal Indian Portraits: The lens of a camera never more brilliantly captured the well-orchestrated spectacle of pomp and glory that was the Raj, than in the portraits of the rulers of Princely India. Both amateur and professional early Indian photographers captured rulers and their families at their flattering best, creating enduring images that remain evocative and crucial visual documents of our past.
