Sair e Sarkhej : A Poetic Walk-through

Saif Siddiqui and Raja Biswas | Sarkhej Roza, Ahmedabad
This story celebrates the life and times of Sufi Saint Sheikh Ahmad 'Ganj Bakhsh' Khattu. The essence of the story lies in his journey for the quest for 'haq' or truth. The story also weaves around association of the saint with the inception of Ahmedabad and the architectural marvel that Sarkhej Roza evolved. Legend has it that the the unique water heritage of Ahmad Sar lake which was just a pond earlier was the sprouting seed for the royal necropolis of Sarkhej Roza. The most dynamic attendees of the Sufi edifice as one can always observe are the children for whom this story is rooted. Keeping in mind the readership the story depicts playful illustrations to engage the young enthusiasts with the exquisite cultural water heritage. (The story and poetry have been conceptualized by Saif Siddiqui and illustrated by Raja Biswas.)
