an untold, ever-evolving story

a �rope around the belly.� that is what damodar literally means, one of the many names that sri krishna is referred as. why a river would be named like that? possibly, it has got something to do with the way damodar looks in context to its valley. a cursory glance at the damodar river basin would indeed show that the damodar bypasses its basin like a belt, circumnavigating a vast geographical area of plains and plateaus as well as acting as the main binding flow where many small tributaries merge into.

in the geological and geographical circuit, damodar is well known often compared to the ruhr in germany for the enormous coal reserve in its valley, hosting by some estimates, 46% of india�s total coal storage. flowing through the two states jharkhand and bihar, damodar and its canals have also shaped the agrarian lives of these areas enormously.

however, unlike some of india�s famous rivers, especially the ganges, damodar has never been documented pictorially. the culture that has flourished around damodar has always continued like a subaltern flow. the landscape through which the river cuts through has also remained out of the radar of mainstream media for the most part.

however, there are great stories around this river � a kaleidoscope of stories. stories that have floated and flowed around its banks � stories of great floods, strange incidents, local legends. in course of time, the river, like a metaphor, has woven its own stories. stories that are nested within its geographical and natural contours and yet stories that eventually spin beyond their origins.

this landscape documentary book will try to capture this essence of life and nature in and around this river throughout its 592 kilometers journey. it will start from its origin in the rugged plateaus of chota nagpur in jharkhand and then stop at certain junctures where the conflicting currents of nature and civilization have met and created a significant impact � both on the river as well as on the localities. in short, this book is a visual collection of how diverse and often fragmented narratives that have evolved over time, metamorphosed and eventually created a narrative of the river.?
