Nainital : Through Memory, Stories & History
Through Memory, Stories & History
Janhavi Prasada
Rs. 795.00
From 1841, when Peter Barron first discovered Nainital to the present day, the town has evolved – its colonial quiet now alive with the rhythm of cafés and crowds, its cycle of change woven with the nostalgia of those who call it home. In Nainital: Through Memory, Stories & History, writer Janhavi Prasada captures this delicate balance, offering an account of her hometown that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. Enriched by fellow Nainital native Digvijay Singh’s evocative illustrations, this ode to the town paints a portrait of a place that is at once rooted in memory and timeless in spirit.
Prasada – the fourth generation of her family to call Nainital home – traces the town’s layered history, beauty, and the quiet intimacy of its people and places in this book. She offers glimpses of life around the shimmering lake, its colonial legacies, indigenous foods and trails deep into the Deodar forests.
