About this ebook
Yasmini as a girl: a princess of mixed blood in a Rajput state, an English commissioner, a hidden treasure, and a Brahmin priesthood that intends to have both.

Fifty-nine plates, from Abanindranath Tagore and Edwin Lord Weeks among others, carry the Rajput courts, Mughal processions and bazaar life of the story in paint.
