About the Event

Avid Learning, in association with The Marg Foundation, presents a panel discussion to celebrate the Mumbai launch of Punjab: Building the Land of the Five Rivers.


Join us to celebrate the book and, indeed, a gamut of all things Punjabi! Drawing from this sumptuous new Marg publication, that meticulously showcases the Land of the Five Rivers in all its glory, this panel continues the conversation on topics ranging from Punjab’s breathtaking architecture to its traditions of princely cuisine, from its Mughal heritage to its Sufi and Sikh cultural influences. Author, Arjun Gaind will be in conversation with Editor of the book and Conservation Architect, Abha Narain Lambah, Journalist and Founding Editor of The Wire, Sidharth Bhatia and Contributing Author and Journalist, Neha Prasada.
