Royina grewal biography of christopher

I’m not particularly Hindu, as I am not particular to Buddhism or even Christianity.

I read this book because from August 29th to the 7th of September is Ganesh Chaturthi, the celebration of the birthday of the Hindu god.

If you don’t know Ganesh, he is the cute and onery elephant-headed god, the deliverer and remover of obstacles.

The Taj Mahal is synonymous with Agra.

In the Shadow of the Taj: A Portrait of Agra by Royina Grewal (, Trade Paperback).

People give Ganesh’s chubby statuary offerings of sweets and fruit; they also perform rituals to ask Ganesh for a clear path in their life, including blessings but also the removal of selfishness, ego, and limited perspective.

In fact, it seems a new story is simply invented on the spot whenever someone decides they need one. It’s as if Ganesh is literally used as an exemplification of wisdom, the central figure in fairy tales and legends used to convey bits of wisdom.
