Taking Swarajya Heritage Programme To The Next Level

Dear Reader,

I'm writing to inform you about our continued coverage of heritage related issues and to provide a brief update on our future plans.

As part of our heritage programme, we have covered over a dozen themes in the last few weeks. Here are some of them:

1. A ground report from Kanchipuram about a stolen Chola-era bronze and all the corruption surrounding it.

2. About John Gollings, the photographer-scholar from Australia who has documented the ruins of Hampi for over 40 years.

3. How a central government scheme is helping heritage cities rebuild broken infrastructure – a report from Amritsar.

4. The story of a man, who has dedicated 27 years of his life studying and digitally restoring the vanishing artwork in Ajanta caves.

5. Report on proposed takeover of temples in Govardhan by Uttar Pradesh government.

This was a brief relook at our coverage of heritage related issues. We hope you like the nature and form of our current reportage.

The Swarajya Heritage Programme is made possible through the support of readers like you, who buy subscription and sponsorships for as little as Rs 2,999 all the way up to Rs 49,999.

If you like our coverage and would like to support this one-of-a-kind programme in the entire Indian media landscape, please consider making a contribution here.

Yours sincerely,

PS: The Swarajya Heritage Tours have taken off very well. We've already done two tours, one to Hampi and another to Chola temples. The next one is to Ellora.
