It captures the cultural and social landscape of Bengal during the late 1960s and 1970s, from its rich folk traditions and the vibrant streets of Kolkata to the city's fading colonial grandeur, crumbling nineteenth-century mansions, evocative depictions of Lord Krishna, and incisive portraits of political figures. Richly illustrated and meticulously produced, *Mirror to the World* stands as both a landmark monograph and a lasting testament to an artist whose work continues to shape the narrative of Indian art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePraise for Mirror to the World and Sanjay Bhattacharyya\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Sanjay Bhattacharyya’s coffee table book, Mirror to the World, is a labour of love” – Henna Rakheja, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eHindustan Times\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Everything unwraps in the idea of layered imagery – as if he drew different effects on sheets and controlled how they all added together in the final images.
