Nagabhatta, a Vedic scholar, has been deputed by King Amaruka to secretly examine the caravans of other kingdoms. He soon learns about the treacherous designs of the King who marries Nagabhatta`s wife. Nagabhatta`s subsequent emotional turmoil triggers a journey of a lifetime through the mystical terrains of eighth-century India. His travels lead us into a fascinating world of strange customs, ancient kings and their concubines, religious visionaries, tantriks, merchants, and spies intermingled with profound philosophical debates. Part historical, part picaresque, Sartha is also a riveting romance as Nagabhatta finds love yet again in the enchanting Chandrika.
