Bombay Talkies, 'Achhut Kanya', Ashok Kumar & Devika Rani outside a village shop, 1937

  1. Hi
    I used to know personally Shrimati Devika Rani and Dr Svetoslav Roerich in the late 1980s. I met them regularly in Bangalore when it was still the City of beautiful gardens. I have got very warm memories of those meetings in Ashoka Hotel and at their Tataguni estate. I'd like to make a small amatour not for profit video tribute to Devika. In this connection I wonder if your foundation could extend its courtesy to me by giving a permission to use photographs of Devika exhibited in this blog? I'll need them to be clean (without copyright marks). You have got the very special and rare material related to Bombey Talkies and Devika Rani here.
    Thank you.

    Respectfully,
    Valentin L.
