The book has a background of more than 10 years of research. Nilgiris has a rich history and heritage as it was the summer capital of the Madras Presidency. Many of the annual tourism events, held in the district headquarters of Ootacamund or better known as Ooty, are still the remnants of the British colonisation. The idea occurred when the author found many attractive old British buildings and became interested in their history. Soon she realized that many little details are not included in history books, and therefore she decided to pen down all her investigations for the Nilgiris people. Nilgiris is in a way lucky to have been the summer capital, here the level of the English language is good, buildings have stood the test of time and people have adapted to many changes. It is sincerely hoped that this book will enhance people’s knowledge and improve their awareness of the rich local history and heritage to preserve them. As it is a favourite haunt of tourists, it also has a splash of tourism-related information. Therefore, this book will be cherished and preserved by anyone who loves the Nilgiris, which was once known as the Nila mountain where Goddess Nila Devi was presumed to have lived.
Soul of the Nilgiris is a photographic anthology that captures the authentic soul of the beautiful 'Blue Mountain' range deep in the western ghats of Southern India called the Nilgiris. Researched, photographed by and written by Ramya Reddy over the past seven years, it is a collaboration between like-minded individuals whose ties with the Nilgiris are nothing short of sacred.Told artfully, through photographs, art and creative prose which is a combination of ancient wisdom and personal narratives interwoven with folklore and real stories, the book explores the region's true and treasured cultural, spiritual, artistic and ecological traditions, with an active involvement from the experts in the area and importantly, the indigenous community- which has been a vital component of the project.
