About the Book:
"Megha Meets Vishwakarma: The Story of Indian Crafts" is an enchanting journey through India's rich and diverse craft traditions, skillfully presented by Harsha V. Dehejia. The narrative introduces Megha, a young girl, who embarks on an adventure that leads her to discover the intricacies of Indian crafts, both ancient and contemporary. Along the way, Megha encounters Vishwakarma, the divine architect and craftsman, who guides her through the centuries-old practices that have shaped India’s artistic and cultural heritage.
Through Megha’s story, the book beautifully showcases the myriad forms of craftsmanship found across the country—whether it's pottery, textiles, metalwork, or wood carving. Dehejia's insightful storytelling also illuminates the cultural significance and the societal roles these crafts play in various regions of India. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the soul of Indian craftsmanship, as well as the artisans who preserve these traditions.
