Muktochinta Publication

Muktochinta Publication describes itself as a non-commercial rationalist publishing venture. Its books bring science and reason to everyday beliefs: astrology examined in the light of science, a critical look at alternative medicine, Darwin and evolution, field investigations of "supernatural" claims for adults and for young readers, the politics of Mother Teresa's public image, and plain facts about snakes.

Real flowers are set in resin for pendants, necklaces, photo frames and planters — some with Maa Durga at their heart — alongside oxidised necklaces with thread-ball and jhumka tassels, enamel-print earrings and a necklace inspired by Jamini Roy.
