The cup is small, silver, cold at the rim even in the Rajasthani heat, and it is placed in her hands by a servant who will not meet her eyes. Outside her chamber the palace of Chittor goes on with its ordinary evening — torches being lit along the ramparts, horses being led to water, somewhere a conch sounding the hour for the fort's temple. Inside, only this: a woman kneeling before a small dark image of Krishna dressed in yellow silk, a garland of fresh flowers around his neck, and now a cup of milk in her hands that everyone in that room except her knows has been mixed with poison. She has been singing when the cup arrives. That is the detail the old ones always give first, because it matters — she does not stop singing to receive death; death arrives in the middle of her love-song and must wait its turn.

No catch. The Invitation is a real book, free, and yours to keep: a complete portrait of this life in about 20,000 words, not a sample or a teaser. It is the doorway. The three volumes tell the life in its fullness, and they are here whenever you wish to go deeper.
