Srimad Ramayana Book

Client : Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri

Editorial Design

The Srimad Ramayana book for Baala Bharati, an educational initiative of Sri Sharada Peetham was conceived with traditional Pattachitra painting to introduce readers, especially children, to classical Indian visual traditions. Working within a well-established system allowed for clarity in storytelling while encouraging familiarity and appreciation of the art form.

The book’s design draws directly from the visual language of Pattachitra. The page grids are based on the natural structure of the paintings, creating layouts that feel balanced and visually rich. This grid is then used to organise different kinds of content, allowing each page to feel varied and engaging while still staying connected as a whole. The narrative portions are placed within circular forms, echoing how stories are carried in circles in Pattachitra. Key moments or highlights are set in larger squares and rectangles, drawing attention in the same way important scenes are emphasised in the paintings.

The colours and borders are inspired by traditional Pattachitra, giving the book a strong and consistent visual identity. The borders, in particular, become a key highlight - framing each page and reinforcing continuity across the book.
