In this award-winning companion to India Fortunes, also published by Penguin India as "The Mangarh Chronicles," eight novellas set in earlier periods are linked by a treasure hunt in modern times through the immense fortress of Mangarh by government tax raiders.

"A rich and informative portal into past and present India. Gary Worthington is a delightful storyteller." —Traveler's India Magazine

In addition to experiencing battles, romance, and architectural and artistic achievements, readers will meet great religious teachers, including the Buddha, a Muslim saint, and a Hindu guru.

In the hunt for the legendary Mangarh Treasure, Vijay Singh, the capable and conscientious leader of the searchers, battles a corrupt political boss who imprisons the Maharaja of Mangarh and preys on the lovely princess Kaushalya.

Vijay fears that in Mangarh his secret may be exposed: he claims to be of the high Rajput caste, but in fact he was born an Untouchable outcaste in a nearby village.

4.5 star review averages on Amazon.com. Finalist for ForeWord magazine’s Book of the Year (fiction).

"Worthington has wonderfully captured the mystique and adventure-soaked atmosphere of Rajasthan, with its golden forts and the awe-inspiring desert. This is a fine book, whose carefully constructed story-line and obviously minutely-researched details make it a delight to read." —The Statesman, New Delhi
