Lama Mani Books was started as a tribute to the story tellers of yore. Their first two books are part of a series called Meyul – which is the opposite of homeland – a place that is not one’s home. There are two titles –
- Dorje’s Holiday at the Gyenso Khang which is set in the old age home at Mundgod (the oldest old age home in exile)
- Dolma Visits the City – which is set amongst the sweater sellers who come to Bangalore
The books have been illustrated by a Tibetan artist Chime Tashi and written by Aravinda A. There is some more information on the project here.
Update : There is a small change in the programme. The launch and release of the two titles is on the 26th and not on the 27th as mentioned in the poster.
