DAV College, Chandigarh was not in my itinerary of Places to Visit in my Punjab Tour, and I was not even aware they had any significant Manuscript Collection.

Prof. Angiras, Chairman of VVRI, Hoshiarpur, who I was inquiring about there famous Collection that was retrieved with much danger, told me that majority of there Collection of Manuscripts has already been transferred to DAV College, Chandigarh.

The Lal Chand Indological Research Center is a very well maintained Library and there Complete Catalog is now uploaded here:

In the display Boxes, I was able to spot two Sharada Manuscripts, one was Yakshini Kalpa and the other was a very beautifully scribed Bhagavat Gita which had – on that page atleast- numerous scribblings over individual words. The Library Management unfortunately didnot let me take pictures of anything.

The 2 amazing Pieces of News I came to know were that all manuscripts Palm Leaf , Paper etc had been digitized in 2004 but unfortunately not open-accessed.

Lohia Foundation however is re-digitizing all Laminated(!,hurts) Paper manuscripts  in there First Phase running into 6 Lakh Folios – with 3 Lakhs already done. All Digitizations by Lohia Foundation are being done in 600 DPI and they have 2 Book Eye Scanners Flat Bed and Overhead respectively which cost around 25 Lakh Rs each. Each generated Image is around 100 MB with a Output of 900 Folios/Day/per Operator.

All Digitizations are available at:

Some Manuscripts have been transliterated and translated into English as well at the Lohia Foundation Site.

Lohia Foundations other digitizations are also viewable at :

which includes a Persian Mahabharata and many many stunning aesthetic images.

The Other Good News is while examining the Catalog of Lalchand Research Library I spotted the following 2 Entries on Page 252:

5857, Ishwar Pratyabhijna Sutra Bhashya,Abhinavagupta , 324 , Malayalam , Palm Leaf

3830, Mahartha Manjari, Maheshvarananda, 167, Malayalam, Palm Leaf

The Principal – thanks to Prof Shankar ji Jha who had already recommended us and our Work and highly cos of the warm reception – assured us that if we go through the paper-work for permissions, he will get us these manuscripts. Our application is underway through our Member/Punjab Coordinator Shri Vinod Razdan Sahib and this page will be updated with the Texts as soon as we receive them.
