Mumbai : Shiv Sena executive chief Uddhav Thackeray on July 30 said he will send his photography book, bearing pictures depicting the rich cultural heritage of Maharashtra, as a gift to President Pratibha Patil and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
"I want the President, PM and chief ministers to know the rich heritage, culture and tradition of Maharashtra. I am soon sending them copies of my book," he said at a function here.
Uddhav, also a photographer, has recently published a book 'Maharashtra Desha', a compilation of his aerial photographs highlighting forts and tourist spots of the state.
The Shiv Sena leader said aerial photography enabled him to get a different view of Maharashtra.
He also announced that he will donate money from the sale of the book to the farmers in the state. Uddhav had taken out a rally in 2009 visiting farmers' suicide-prone areas in Vidarbha region.
