I developed this book as part of a college research project, where my position as a Design student and my interest in sketching drove me to finish this project as an illustrative book. While deciding on the state which I would take up, Uttar Pradesh seemed like the obvious choice as it is my home state and therefore I share a close connection to it.
For this book I decided to focus on ‘The Heritage Arc’ programme started by the U.P. State Tourism Department, which covers three culturally prominent cities of U.P., Lucknow, Agra and Varanasi.
