I kept searching for them: the riyazis and gada (the stone clubs with bamboo handles) on the ghats. The gada had all vanished and I found only one riyazi (I hope) performing dand-baithak on the steps of Ahhilyabai-Munshi Ghats.

The Musahar work in mustard fields and brick kilns, bearing the burns of untouchability.Said a mother: “shopkeepers place our groceries far away. In school, our children are called dirty. So they drop out.”

It was at the Mangala Gouri temple on balaji ghat that Ustad Bismillah Khan, the shehnai maestro, did his riaz. Searching for his house in a maze is an adventure in itself.

On a corner of a concrete deck overlooking the water and a dozen burning pyres on the ghat, there sat the baby-faced Om Harinarayan Chaudhary, the future king. All of 16, he wore a traditional ponytail, with T-shirt and jeans and slipped into his sneakers and a yellow jacket after finishing his work. We asked him about the nature of his work. He instantly replied, “Hum gaddi sambhal
