People’s Science Institute Calendar 2010- Pictures of the Gori Ganga
Posted on 29 Dec, 2009 12:30 PMGuest Post by: Ravi Chopra (People’s Science Institute)
I have before me PSI’s new calendar for 2010. Even at the risk of sounding immodest, I think it is stunning. I thought that our 2009 calendar on river Ganga could not be topped. But I think that aesthetically this one is better! A pdf version is attached.
I would like to urge you to order your copies before they are sold out. The pricing structure is
In India (includingpostage) | Abroad (including postage) |
| 1 to 49 calendars @ 150 each | 1 to 9 @ US $ 15 each |
| 50 to 99 calendars @ 125 each | 10 to 49 @ US $ 12 each |
| 100 or more calendars @ 100 each | 50 or more @ US $ 10 each |
The 2010 calendar features Gori Ganga, one of Uttarakhand’s remote and pristine rivers. The photographs capture the sun-bathed beauty of the lower valley, the wilderness of the upper catchment and the quietude that comes with the remoteness. Our dynamic photographers, Devraj Agrawal and Salil Das trekked on foot and pony for four days from Munsiyari to Milam glacier, the source of the river, to bring you some rare and breath-taking photos.
