Presenting 'Fragrant Folios: The Palanpur Story', a book that the Late Nawab Iqbal Mohammed Khan described as "an evocative chronicle of the genesis of the city...(that) encapsulated Palanpur's vibrant culture and lifestyle".
The book is divided into four sections: History; a Socio-Cultural Kaleidoscope; Eminent Personalities and Charitable Institutions, and is a rich mosaic of facts, stories, descriptive narratives, reportage and memories woven together.
We have created this digital version to ensure wider and easier access and in the hope that it will "provide inputs to urban historians and researchers anywhere in the world while encouraging and inspiring the younger generations to continue the exemplary Palanpur traditions".
