Description

In this poignant and powerful tale, Sisir Das takes us deep into an India few have seen, and fewer understand.

Behind the millions of devotees in the Jagannatha temple at Puri is a system that is both traditional and demanding. Rambha is thrown into the system as a child to be transformed into a devadasi. Her unflinching faith makes her determined to follow every rule. Even when the system marries her to Jagannatha but leaves her at the mercy of those who speak in his name.

And then the rules change…

In this poignant and powerful tale, Sisir Das takes us deep into an India few have seen, and fewer understand.
