When I approached Tara Books to consider designing and publishing my narrative on the Weavers of Kutch, I could have never imagined the magic they wrought by selecting Ragini Siruguri, as the photographer and designer of the book.The book has come alive with her photographs and visualization with V.Geetha's inputs. Truly, she is the co-creator and author along with me. Moreover, the visual treatment made it possible for the Weavers to relate and identify with the book far more easily. I could have never imagined that the quiet, observant young girl could have made such magic! #tarabooks#raginisiruguri#weaversofkutch Here is a blog post by her!
