| Summary/Abstract |
A journey to north India in 1857 to mend their fortunes and visit to holy places leads a Brahmin priest Vishnubhat Godse, and his uncle straight into and through the conflict zones of the Great Uprising. Their travel turns into an adventure, a patchwork of pujas, court patronage, adn miraculous escapes from fierce battles. Twenty-five years later, Vishnubhat Godse wrote Maza Pravas. Literally, 'my journey', the narration uses nineteenth-century idiom as it describes rituals and prayer, bizarre cross-dressing, battle and blood, and, most memorably, the fall of Jhansi.
