Venus Mars: Ove And Marriage
Venus Mars:Ove And Marriage is a richly textured historical narrative about Veerarajendra, the exiled raja of Coorg, and his daughter Gowramma, who in 1852 became the first Indian royals to set foot in Britain. Part biography, part political and cultural odyssey, it speaks to history lovers, royal enthusiasts, and readers curious about cross‑cultural encounters in Victorian England, delivering a tone that is informative, respectful, and quietly adventurous.
Written by C.P. Belliappa, the book is built from in-depth research and previously unpublished materials. It reconstructs the motives behind Veerarajendra's dramatic relocation—was it the allure of a new land, or Queen Victoria's ambitions to connect Gowramma with the Punjab's Maharaja Duleep Singh?
