Evam Vadati Pustakam
This online exhibition tries to capture the stories of South Asian manuscripts, throwing light on aspects of religion, philosophy, literature and the scientific disciplines, and also 'lived life'. We look at how manuscripts were produced, the many scripts they supported, and how they travelled to different parts of the world.
