520 _aThis book is the account of the author s travel across the complex tapestry that is India underlined with historical and literary narratives by generations of writers on India.She explores twenty-eight cities and sites from Agra to Udaipur. While well-frequented destinations are visited: Bombay, Calcutta, Jaipur and Goa; she also follows the trail to less targeted corners of India Aligarh, Kashmir, Mamallapuram and Somnathpur. Savouring the lingering legacies of bungalows, clubs, hotels, libraries, mansions, palaces and temples, Raana Haider also dips into India s diverse culinary heritage, delves into traditional crafts and its fusion into contemporary fashion and furnishings and relishes encounters with literary masters Ruskin Bond, William Dalrymple, Salman Rushdie and Khushwant Singh.
