Notes: In shaping out the backdrop for our greetings has been used the handmade paper (sic) - a product of the country's few surviving cottage industries. The scenic effect on the cover has, at its base, a genuinely 'natural' peepul leaf : dried, coloured and fi, nely embroidered, by the handicraft women of South India. (The peepal is a large fig tree: Ficus religiosa, traditionally revered by the Hindus as sacred).
