At the confluence of the Gandaki River and Ridi Khola is Ruruksetra (now Ridiksetra), a Hindu pilgrimage site that became the focus of religious activity after the 16th century Palpa king Mukunda Sena I built a temple there. This book is an account of how the author countered the modernisation and commercialisation here.
