Book Description

About the Book
The Lady behind the veil, who opens her face to Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) in the final moment beyond death, flits through the corpus of his life work. More specifically, however, she appears in forms of his work; poems, so think-pieces in prose'and paintings.

Jivanadevata is mentioned by name only in a few poems, and in some prose pieces including the English language work entitled The Religion of Man. Her identification is a matter of guess work in the rest of his work, especially in paintings.
