The name ‘Mool’ is a living tribute to Late Mr. Y. K. Bhatt. As an architect, planner, artist, sculptor, photographer, traveller and a thinker, his life and work displayed an uncanny ability of always getting to the fundamental (root) issues around any problem, idea, thought or action. ‘Mool’ is a Hindi word that roughly translates to root, essence, fundamental and basic.
