Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh PalImagine yourself standing in the middle of a temple that has been there for 1300 years, and envision having the opportunity to look around the same magnificence that the kings and queens of that era would have witnessed. That’s the visual journey we intend to deliver through STONES & STORIES: The Timeless Kanchi Kailasanathar Temple. There is art, people, divinity, architecture, chaos and calmness existing in this magical space that stood time. The sculptures, the paintings, the pathways and everything that you see in the temple hold a glory; and as one looks deeper, every stone speaks a story. This book strives to create a strong ripple in the minds of visitors to explore and become spellbound by the timeless stories that this ancient temple holds. After all, what is more important to the future than the past itself: so much to learn from and so much to stay rooted!
Amar Ramesh
After his stable software career in the United States, Amar’s decision to quit and pursue photography was more than a career move; it was his deepest desire to travel and explore the world that made him follow his heart. Land of Temples was where it all started. It was his personal project to traverse the temples of this country and document them in pictures. It was then that he developed a strong love for the Indian heritage and temple architecture. He then founded Studio A, a creative wedding photography firm based out of Chennai. With people and emotions as his forte, he moved on to find Cambyte (a learning portal for photography), Toodle (a children’s photography firm) and BIG Short Films (a social stories documentation). He constantly travels to document people, places, and culture in every region, and aims to bring out hidden stories. Finding inspiration from the grandness of the universe, his love for temple architecture found a new meaning in Stones & Stories - The Timeless Kanchi Kailasanathar Temple. This is his first coffee table book, a photographic journey through the Pallava architectural marvel.
