From the Caves and Jungles of Hindostan: Letters to the Homeland is a literary work by the founder of the Theosophical Society Helena Blavatsky. She published it under the pen name Radda Bai in serial installments (letters) from 1879 to 1886 in Moscow.
This Blavatsky's book has somewhat a mystical coloring due to numerous stories and the author's arguments about the secret wisdom of the Hindus, which does not detract from its literary significance. The close acquaintance of the writer with the Indian sights allows her to be very entertaining to talk about the most diverse aspects of the life in modern and ancient India. Simply, but very artistically, she describes the covering India from immemorial times magnificent buildings, on which the past millenniums had no influence.
