Editing Indra Devi (section)

===India and China===

Her husband died unexpectedly in 1946,<ref name=NYT/> and Devi returned to India, arriving in Bombay as the [[British Raj]] was coming to an end<!-- and the [[Partition of India]] loomed-->. She was hosted by the [[maharajah]] of [[Tehri Garhwal]] at [[Ananda–In the Himalayas|his palace in the Himalayas]]. She was hoping to stay in [[Kashmir]] to teach yoga in a centre to be run by the Cambodian monk [[Bellong Mahathera]], but her mother called her back to Shanghai, where Devi's house was being requisitioned by the army in the [[Chinese Civil War]]. Devi arrived there in time to sell many of her possessions before the house was taken over. She claimed later that she had wanted to return to India, but she obtained a United States visa, and sailed on the troopship [[USS General W. H. Gordon|USS ''General W. H. Gordon'']] to San Francisco at the end of 1947.{{sfn|Michelle Goldberg|2016|pp=149-155}}
