About this book

2005 A.D. The recently concluded legislative assembly elections, and the real game for the chair began... everyone wants to be chief minister, wants power in their hands, and so the game for the chair is on... the public is caught in the tangled political moves of each leader... and in the midst of it all, Nargatwadi... The area surrounding this village is a terrifying forest, spanning five hundred kilometers. It's called Katola forest because it contains ancient rock carvings from thousands of years ago. It's a very terrifying and mysterious jungle, full of many hidden secrets, events, and stories. If a novice were to enter this forest, they wouldn't be found even in seven lifetimes. It's a forest filled with many ferocious animals, poisonous snakes, and carnivorous plants. Animals and plants that can't be found anywhere else in the world exist in this forest. Right in the middle of the jungle is an old structure. The magnificent ruins of an ancient palace. And this is where a ghost resides... the ghost of the king... King Chandrasen, who has sworn not to let anyone who enters the Katola forest leave alive. He has been here for thousands of years. For generations, the elders of Nargatwadi have told their descendants not to go into that forest, not even by mistake, or else a complete calamity will befall the entire village. But in the end, the very thing they didn't want to happen, happened...
