This photo was taken the day before the fair opened. This is the only time your stall was empty.
The book fair was attended by more than one million people every day and featured over 5000 stalls representing diverse national and international publishers.

Your stall was near the entrance in Hall 1 where all the big-shot publishers of religious and secular books competed for attention from the crowds.
Your stall captured everyone. The so-called big-shots could not compete with the elegance you manifest.

Krishna-kanta Prabhu was an expert organizer. He arranged to care for all the devotees and all the details of management. I made many offenses to him but in the end he begged me for forgiveness.

That’s me. I’m quite worthless. My contribution was to offend the devotees so their great compassion and tolerance could be exhibited.

Everyone was astonished by your beautiful paintings. One lady began crying while she looked through them -- especially when she saw viraha-radha.
