Essentially a marketing research professional, Tejakar started ‘Vigyapan’, his own design studio, in 2001 after a stint with a leading advertising agency of Bihar. But the state’s rich history and many an untold stories kept pushing him towards substantial research. He has been working on the history of Bihar during the colonial period for the last 12 years.
Cited by scholars in India and abroad, his works include: ‘Bihar in the Eyes of British Traveller and Painters, 1780-1850’ (published by Maharajadhiraja Kameshwar Singh Kalyani Foundation, Darbhanga, 2008), and ‘Walking Down the Lane, A Pictorial Tribute to Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the First President of India’ (published by Bihar State Archives, Patna, 2011). Tejakar has been consulted in developing the recent publications of the state’s Art and Culture Department, including ‘A Monumental History of Patna’ and ‘Bihar ke Dharohar’.view less
