This is the first cultural biography of King Serfoji II, the Maratha king of Tanjavur (r.1798-1832), a fascinating figure in Indian and world history. Ruler of a small kingdom under British colonial supervision, Serfoji achieved a remarkable synthesis between European Enlightenment and Indian knowledge systems and cultural practices, becoming a pioneer in south India's transition to modernity and a legend in his own time.
