Tradition and espionage come together in Ravi Shankar Etteth’s thriller set amid the politics of the Mauryan Empire.

Soldier Spy

“To yield to fear is fatal,” says the spymaster who not just has King Ashoka’s back, but also saves his kingdom with spectacular espionage skills in Ravi Shankar Etteth’s latest book, The Brahmin (Westland, 2018; on stands now). On horseback or lurking in dark alleys, the Brahmin is single-mindedly focused on preserving his planet. But first, he must solve a murder case—a concubine from the king’s harem has just been murdered.

The Subtle Grandeur of Narain Niwas Palace

There's a kind of quiet that belongs only to old homes. At Narain Niwas Palace, it hums in the walls, drifts through the painted corridors, and settles among the mango and tamarind trees. Built in 1928 by General Amar Singh Ji Kanota as a retreat from the city's noise, the palace remains under the care of his family. Its fifty-two rooms, each carrying its own blend of antique furniture and hand-painted detail, feel more like a home still in use than a hotel on display. The pale lime walls seem to hold sunlight long after dusk, and the courtyards breathe with the slow rhythm of a place untouched by time.
