The Dharma Forest

Cover design and Art direction for The Dharma Forest by Keerthik Sasidharan

In the midst of the Mahabharata war, Bhishma, a man who cannot die, contemplates death. Draupadi stands still at the centre of all the chaos, rethinking trust. A melancholic Arjuna re-evaluates the cost of winning the war. This intricately woven tale of troubled tangled lives is a magnificent first novel of a trilogy. A brave, wondrous saga of complex love and conflicting loyalties.

The moment my editor and I discussed this project, I knew this cover was meant to be done with Vishnu. Through well thought-out strategy for the series, a clear vision for this cover and then numerous conceptual and executional refinements, this stunning cover was conceived. I can certainly say that this right here is one of the most important projects for me. I am beyond happy to share this with you all.
