Organised as part of SAMHiTA: South Asian Manuscript Histories and Textual Archive - an initiative of the India International Centre supported by the Ministry of External Affairs - the exhibition contributed to the ongoing effort to document, catalogue, and share South Asian manuscripts preserved in institutions around the world. By making these rare materials accessible through digitisation, Evam Vadati Pustakam invited visitors to reimagine the manuscript as both an object of art and a vessel of human thought, bridging the past with the present medium of knowledge exchange.
