Nine Lives: in Search of the Sacred in Modern India is a 2009 travel book by William Dalrymple.
Dalrymple's seventh book is about the lives of seven Indians, a Buddhist monk, a Jain nun, a lady from a middle-class family in Calcutta, a prison warden from Kerala, an illiterate goat herd from Rajasthan, and a devadasi - or temple prostitute, as seen during Indian travels.[1][2]
