Yamuna Paryatan (Marathi: यमुनापर्यटन, English: Yamuna's journey) is a Marathi novel written by Marathi Christian missionary Baba Padmanji. It was published in 1857. The book praises the teachings of Christianity by describing the miserable condition of Hindu widows in the nineteenth century AD. Yamuna Paryatan was among the earliest novels written in India. It had a female-centric theme, which addressed the issue of women's condition in Hindu society. It gained nationwide attention due to the topic it discussed.[1] It is also known for being the first vernacular-Marathi novel.[2]
