The facts given by you are incomplete. On the basis of given facts, it is clear that she is entitled for alimony; besides, she may also lodge a complaint against you under the Domestic Violence Act as well as Sections 498-A/406 IPC.
You should immediately offer her or her family a handsome amount towards interim maintenance and make all possible efforts for reproachment. In case you had caused her any wrong like physical or emotional or economic violence, you shold tender unconditional apologies and assuage her feelings;
It is presumed that no sane woman shall leave her matrimonial home without a reasonable cause; and the cause for desertion possibly could be harrassment by the husband or his family. Therefore, try to make an assessment of the causes of her desertion and make sincere efforts to remedy the situation.

If you want her back file a suit for restitution of conjugal rights.
