KALAKRITI ARCHIVESPRSHANT LAHOTI COLLECTION

A civilisation is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries, elements difficult at times to justify by logic, but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere, since they open up for man his inner distance.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
