The Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims of South Asia recite and chant GINANS as their sacred devotional poetry. It guides them and inspires them in their individual and communal life. Within the last hundred years, this community has dispersed outside the subcontinent, a 'diaspora' around the globe. This thesis is a publication for the members of the community. A book that will take the readers into a new world of serene visuals to experience the Ginans. A spatial ambiance for each verse and its translation and breif conceptual grounding about the Ginan itself shall breathe a fresh air of tranquility and foster deeper understanding of this much cherished form of Ismaili literature. A modern visual take at the three commonly recited and sutdied ginans. It is an intersection. The contemporary feel is married to the text of this unique tradition to enhance a better understanding of it. Designed, Illustrated and Compiled by: Arsheena Gowani
