We were overwhelmed by their beauty and felt compelled to document them in a book.”
Historian and educationist Shekhar Dutt, who unveiled the book, lauded the young authors. “This book is an eye-opener,” he said. “It takes readers on a captivating tour of these monuments. Their efforts are truly commendable, especially considering their young age. It shows a deep understanding of the importance of history and historical preservation.”
