Mrunal Pawar brings together art, literature, and contemplative practice in her work. With her unique approach to artist books, she turns the book from just a holder of text into an experience that invites readers to see, touch, reflect, and take part.

In her artist book on the Shri Suktam , she presents the sacred hymn from the Rigveda in a visually rich and contemplative form. The book is designed to support prayer, chanting, and quiet reflection. Its artistic design invites the reader to slow down and engage with the sacred text with attention and devotion, making the book itself a companion for daily sadhana.

Her works highlight the sensory and imaginative potential of books. In Kathakrang , she blends dance and book-making, presenting the rhythm, expressions, and storytelling of Kathak through both images and words on the page.

With the Likhita Japa series, she creates beautifully crafted journals that invite devotees to practice the ancient tradition of writing the divine name. Through this simple act, writing becomes a quiet form of meditation.

Her creative work also includes books such as Merchants of Poona , Festivals of Maharashtra, and Awakening Your Bliss. These books explore culture, tradition, and inner wellbeing.

Across these projects, her work is marked by playfulness, imagination, wonder, and collaboration. Her books are tactile and engaging objects that invite the reader’s presence. They encourage readers not only to read, but also to slow down, interact with the pages, and experience the book more deeply.

Through her growing body of work, Mrunal Pawar is helping people rediscover the beauty of artist books in India. Her creations bring together storytelling, devotion, craft, and visual art in ways that feel personal, thoughtful, and alive.
