Description

About The Book: "Wanderings of a Pilgrim in Search of the Picturesque" is divided into two volumes. The frist Volume begins with an exploration of Indian culture, leading into Fanny Parkes' journey from England to colonial India in 1822. Parkes recounts her voyage aboard the "Marchioness of Ely," arrival in Calcutta, and travels to Carnicobar and Allahabad. She offers vivid descriptions of local customs and societal observations, including her exploration of the Zenana of the King of Oude and participation in cultural festivals like Dewali. In the second Volume, Parkes continues her adventures, detailing encounters with the Mahratta camp, visits to cities like Kanauj and Delhi, and travels through Bengal and the Himalayas. The volume concludes with her return journey to England, where she reflects on her experiences in India.
