A powerful work of fiction from India’s bestselling mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik
When Mahesh agrees to meet his friend, Akshay, at midnight, in the middle of one of Mumbai’s maze-like slums, he doesn’t realise what he is getting himself into. Taking us through a surreal journey, Pattanaik exposes the frightening inner workings of a tantric circle that engages in human sacrifice to appease the blood-thirsty goddess, Rakta-Vilasini as she demands that the sacrifice has to be kaula, i.e. a virgin.
Devdutt Pattanaik’s clever, profoundly disturbing story takes a no-hols-barred look at the Mumbai underbelly.
