About this Book:
|
|
Centuries-old customs alive and well in Southern India.
Fusing cultures requires a delicate balance for newlyweds Hindu Mohan and Christian Karen. Necessity moves the young couple from Cleveland, Ohio to Secunderabad in Andhra Pradesh, South India. Sights and sounds come alive as the reader moves about the vibrant countryside. Cultures of the orthodox Hindu come to life in seldom-viewed, rich, provocative rituals, including Seemanthum. This fascinating love story also transports the reader to vibrant Tirupati, Kancheepurum and Calcutta’s Kalipuja.
The newlyweds strive to protect their love as Nobel prize-winner Rabindranath Tagore said in his poem Gitanjoli – “steadfast the lamp burns, sheltered from the wind.”
