+## About
+Utkirna is a cross-platform application heavily inspired from [Win32DiskImager](https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/) that lets you to write a raw disk image to a removable device or backup a removable device to a raw image file. It is useful for preparing bootable drives with "dd like" images for PC, SBC and embedded development boards as well for backing up such drives.
+Utkirna (devanagari: उत्कीर्ण, romanized: Utkīrṇa) means "engraved" in Sanskrit.
+
