She also traveled to India in 1960, visiting cities such as Bombay (Mumbai), Aurangabad, Madras (Chennai), Delhi, and Srinagar. Agatha Christie also visited Nepal, Sri Lanka and Pakistan on her tour to the subcontinent. Though her excursions were not generally reported at the time, adding to the mystery, and no major Christie novel is set in India, the country continues to serve as a background for numerous people and ideas, particularly those associated with the subcontinent or military leaders. Her writings include people with Indian roots, and she even employed Indian plants for poisons, drawing on Ayurvedic knowledge, cementing India’s subtle but significant part in her literary works.
