Damodar, a Riverscape: Landscape photo-documentary & fragmented chronicle of a little known river

by Bhaskar Mukherjee, Apratim Kundu

Overview

Unlike many famous rivers, Damodar has hardly been documented pictorially. Both the culture and the landscape that evolved around the banks of this river have also largely remined beneath the radar of mainstream media.

However, there is a kaleidoscope of great stories around Damodar where great floods, intriguing legends, eons of geological evolution, and human civilization merge together. From this cauldron, over course of time, the river has woven out its own stories. Stories that are nested within its geographical and natural contours and yet stories that eventually spin beyond their origins.

This book is a visual narrative of how these diverse, fragmented, and often unexplored stories have evolved over time, metamorphosed, and eventually created a chronicle of the river.
