A Serbian prince and artist approaches India by night through sea air heavy with musk and pepper, past luminous medusae, and lands at Bombay. From there his short, painterly chapters take in the caves of Ellora, Baroda, Ahmedabad and many other places, until mist veils the snows of the Himalaya and his groom murmurs of the Apsaras.
