This is the adult colouring book that history and design lovers should get their hands on

After making their presence felt in the West, adult colouring books are now luring the Indian market, as well- what with the launch of several Indianised adult colouring books.

Our pick for this week is a one of a kind historical adult colouring book that brings the romance of the Mughal miniatures alive through a classic portrait of a garden in full bloom.

If you are a history and design lover, you’ll love this book. If you are not, you’ll still love it because who doesn’t like to colour?

Called ‘Bagh-e Bahar,’ which is Persian for ‘A Garden in Bloom,’ Good Earth has created this unique colouring book in collaboration with Penguin to mark 20 years of its design journey.

The book serves as a luxury getaway to pause and relax the mind and is a trademark combination of Persian, Asian and indigenous Indian style that celebrate the rich heritage of the country.

Every page in this 100-page book not only tells a story but is accompanied by immortal quotes by Sufi poet Rumi. It brings to life iconic patterns created over the past two decades and also includes pages from the Good Earth annual design journals.

In case you were wondering, the book also makes for a great present. The gift version of the book comes in an elegant box accompanied with fragrant Neroli water that can be used to moisten pencil tips and give a water colour effect to pencil sketches.

Priced at Rs 899, the book is available at all Good Earth outlets in India and abroad. It can also be purchased online at www.goodearth.in

It's time to get colouring!
