A Hindi classic, considered to be one of the best work of Aacharya Chtursen and a masterclass in itself. Set in Patliputra, the historical capital of the Magadha kingdom, the book takes us through the life of Amrapali - the royal courtesan - whose beauty and clout at the royal court are legendary. Her glamorous life comes to a standstill when she learns the Buddha's path. The story was written in 1948 and challenges the non-regular Hindi reader with its language.
