From the Back Cover
'This is. . .a book which is as rich in detail as the carvings of the great Hindu temples. It shares with them a delight in the interplay of myth and mundane experience, and above all an empathy with the Hindu preoccupation with the meaning of human existence in all its complexity.' -G.M. Carstairs, Times Literary Supplement
