The decades after Partition reshaped the city’s food culture. Refugee-run Punjabi restaurants introduced tandoors, richer gravies, naan, and late-night dhaba-style dining to neighbourhoods across Delhi. Daryaganj, Karol Bagh, and old market areas became centres of this growing restaurant culture.

Many dishes now treated as standard “North Indian food” in restaurants, from dal makhani to butter chicken, became popular through these post-Partition Punjabi kitchens.

The barber tends to his trade on a summer afternoon. The kids sit transfixed in the flickr of an old Television set, worlds away. The frescoes have been here longer than anyone can account for, and the river has no opinion on any of it. Orchha holds this quality of life continuing at its own pace.

In the 1850s, Ghoom Monastery laid it's foundation on a ridge above what would become one of the busiest junctions in the Darjeeling hills. Around it, the region was rapidly growing. Tea plantations were spread across the slopes, the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway navigated it's way into the mountains, and people arrived from Tibet, Nepal, Sikkim, and Bhutan in search of work, trade, and monastic learning.

Inside the monastery sits a 15-foot image of Maitreya Buddha beside old Tibetan manuscripts and prayer drums worn smooth with use. Painting the backdrop, the hills rest into Ghoom’s winding roads. Here, the railway tracks, tea leaves, traders and monks continue to coexist in harmony.

Forming the crown of the vast landmass we call India, Kashmir and Ladakh are a paradise of green meadows, blue lakes, lush valleys and snow capped mountains, engulfed in a mysticism that enlivens the spirit of its people.

Kashmir is a land caught in time, with wooden mosques, open bakeries and evenings under twinkling stars, where beauty goes far beyond what the eyes alone can hold. To its east lies the serene land of Ladakh, a testament to the splendour found in rugged cold deserts, entered through Leh, the erstwhile capital of what was once a great kingdom. Buddhism is deeply entrenched in this arid landscape, its colourful monasteries vibrating with chants and bells throughout the day.

Come summer, apricots dry on rooftops across the Kargil region, just as they have for centuries. A spiritual sabbatical in a grand Gompa, lazy mornings on the floating markets of Dal Lake and the vast silence of Pangong Tso round out a journey that winds from Srinagar all the way through Nubra Valley and beyond, twenty days on one breathtaking road, the world from the very top.

Let us take you there. Write to us to begin planning your journey, or simply tell us when you wish to go at .

In the Shahpura region of Rajasthan, Kalyan Joshi continues the tradition of Phad painting from Bhilwara.

Through the Chitrashala studio established by his father, the Phad master Shri Lal Joshi, he carries forward an art form that preserves folklore and stories that have travelled through time.

In our most recent edition, we revisit our time at his studio and share what we witnessed firsthand through his practice. Tap the to access the complete newsletter.

Painted wooden boats rest on the sand in clusters in shades of blue, green, yellow, orange with nets piled inside them. The is lying nearby, unbothered.

A woman has spread three basins of snacks on the sand and is doing steady business. Standing here, you might spot the Shore Temple, a kilometre or so down the waterline standing at this edge since the 8th century.

The fishing village next to the temple has been here just as long, in one form or another, and on most mornings, this end of the beach becomes a spectacle of the efforts.

Tucked away on the Delhi–Kolkata train network in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, Khurja has been India's ceramic capital for over 600 years. Its glazed pottery traces back to potters likely from Multan, who arrived with Timurid or Mughal armies.

The signature style follows painted floral patterns in blue and brown on off-white, fired at blazing hot temperature and glazed with quartz that travels from Rajasthan. Hand-painted floral patterns are done in earthy greens, reds, blues, and browns, with black often used for borders.

Today, ample of factories and close to 25,000 artisans produce the custom stoneware that gracefully lines the tables of Delhi's tasteful restaurants, and finds its way into homes far beyond.

Raghu Rai began photographing in the 1960s, building a body of work that follows India across decades.

He believed thinking interfered with seeing and captured his frames as a way of being present in the world. Over five decades, he turned that belief into a body of work that moved from the ghats of Varanasi to the streets of Calcutta to the hills of Tibet in fragments and moments, never attempting to summarise a country as vast and layered as India.

He passed away on the 26th of April. As Raghu Rai quotes, "A photograph has picked up a fact of life, and that fact will live forever."
