Description

When his stage show ends in spectacular failure, celebrated magician Harry Singh finds himself at the bottom of the social ladder. His best friend and assistant, Bitu, convinces him to travel to India in search of a fresh start.

Instead, they stumble upon the Kumbh Mela, one of the world's largest religious gatherings, where Harry is mistaken for a genuine healer by a group of devoted followers. Before long, he and Bitu are running a highly successful ashram in Varanasi, with devotees flocking from across India and the globe to catch a glimpse of "Sri Omo-ji", Harry's new incarnation.

This novella is a thought-provoking tale that uses real-life events as inspiration. With its unique blend of satire and cultural insight, Godman holds up a mirror to society, questioning our tendency to venerate certain individuals over critical thinking.
