Mohamed Jamal asked K.B. Wagers:

How did you go about researching the East Indian cultural references?

K.B. Wagers A lot of reading - both internet (things like Wikipedia/Hindustan Times) and books. Some of it is guesswork and liberties, trying to decide what kinds of things would survive the time and distance from Earth, how rituals would evolve and that sort of thing.

I also have a very dear friend who was kind enough to beta read for me and who is very patient with my random questions. :)

Thanks for the question!
