Pragya Agrawal is a dual qualified landscape architect and an architect from CEPT University, Ahmedabad and BIT Mesra, Ranchi. After several years in the design and construction industry, she also builds with words as her second craft.

Born and raised in India, she was deeply shaped by the ancient stories and rich cultural heritage of her homeland. The Renunciation is her debut novel, illumining the quiet strength of Sita – the guiding force behind the Ramayana’s turns of fate – as seen through the eyes of a believer and a daydreamer.

Pragya lives in London with her husband, their two children, and a head full of stories.
