Lotus on my palm is the translation of the original Assamese poetry collection Karatala Kamala composed by Devajit Bhuyan. The uniqueness of the original book was that it was written without and kar prevalent in Indian languages like Sanskrit, Assamese, Bengali, Hindi, Gujrati etc. The kar or symbol is used in Indian languages instead of vowels used in English language. Lotus on my palm is not the word-byword translation of the original Assamese book as it is not possible to translate the book without using vowels A, E, I, O, U. Only the theme and meaning of the poems were kept intact as author himself translated it from the original Assamese version. For Karatala Kamala Devajit Bhuyan was awarded as poet of the year, 2022 at Kolkata Literary Carnival (KLC). The original book got immense popularity in Assam as it is the first book written in such style after 600 years of departure of Sankardeva, who introduced this style and subsequently the style became defunct.
