Mysore/Mysuru: Book titled 'The Maverick Maharaja,' the first English biography of Mysore Maharaja Jayachamarajendra (JC) Wadiyar, authored by Dr. Deepti Navaratna, will be released at a programme jointly organised by Harper Collins, India and Mysuru Book Clubs-2015 at Hotel Southern Star on Vinoba Road here on Dec. 18 at 11 am. Writer and academician Prof. C. Naganna will speak about the book.
'The Maverick Maharaja' is the narrative that draws upon JC Wadiyar’s creative expressions with respect to music, text, prose and writings to narrate in rich technicolour. It is the paradoxical portrait of a Maharaja who embodied the wisdom of the East and sensibilities of the West with great equanimity. It captures a life of great pomp and predicaments and legacies converged on his consciousness.
