A travelogue, this book is at once a road journal, a collection of musings and a cry for respect and preservation of one of the world's oldest civilisations. The author, who has been driving her jeep around India for 15 years, reveals her passion for architecture, sculpture, mythology, iconography and artistic heritage in this book.

Giti Thadani has been driving her jeep around India for fifteen years. Blessed with a rare historical sensibility, including an eye for architectural detail, she ventures off-road in search of lost temples, sculptures and cosmological sites from Madhya Pradesh to Kanyakumari to Gujarat. One thought, one reflection leads to another as she contemplates the cultures and mythologies that produced these marvels, and the more recent cultures and mythologies that have left them to neglect and desecration. Her inner and outer journeys unfold each other.
