आगमे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

(1577–1617) English traveler in India
popularly known as the English faqir.
Coryat came to India from Persia and
spent several years traveling around the
Moghul empire in northern India as well
as residing in the Moghul court at Agra.
Although at times his need for patronage made him play the role of a buffoon
and flatterer, Coryat was a careful
observer who was full of curiosity. He is
believed to have been the first European
traveler to visit the pilgrimage city of
Haridwar, and he was impressed with
the rites performed there. He is also
believed to have gone into the Shiwalik
Hills all the way to the temple at
Jwalamukhi. Unfortunately, Coryat
died of dysentery before he could
record these observations, and the only
available references to these later
journeys come from his companion,
the Reverend Edward Terry. See also
