“The Accidental Godman… offers a cynical view of the machinations of bureaucrats and moneybags of beautiful women and men who suddenly acquire the power of life and death.” Manjul Publications
The design looks at the ingredients needed "to become" a Godman, and employs that as a metaphor through its use as the title of the book—for the transformation of Ranvijay, the protagonist into the godman Vaisahmpati, who founds Kamashrama, the stage upon which a large part of the novel takes place.
