About the author

After his earlier education, Devkinandan Khatri moved to Tekari Estate in Gaya. He became an employee of the Raja of Benares. He started a printing press called "Lahari" and started a Hindi monthly, "Sudarshan", in 1898. The various works of Khatri and his son Durga Prasad were republished by Lahari Press in the early 21st century. Lahari Press is still in existence in Ramkatora (Pisnahariya Kuwan)very close to area called Lahurabeer in Varanasi.

Khatri made a strong contribution to the learning of the Hindi language by the people of the times. People were so mesmerised by the works Chandrakanta, Chandrakanta Santati and Bhootnath that they started to learn Hindi just to be able to read the works. Khatri did not write any work at one go and then publish the same. He used to write "bayaans" - chapters - on the run from the British and these were published and distributed widely. People would await the new "bayaans" and congregate around those who could read Hindi to hear the latest exploits in the continuing saga.

[Sachin Kaushik · Rating 3 out of 5]

done with all chnadrakanta santati parts. a really good read, the original hindi fantasy series , the plot is vast , there are so many interesting characters and all lose ends are tied at the end of the story , this is a remarkable feat considering that even while reading i had to make a mental note of when i last read about this character, everything is beautifully correlated and even if you miss something, the references on the page clearly mention which part they are talking about.
being a predominantly english reader, reading in hindi after a long time had its own pleasure. there is something to be said about reading in your mother tongue, the comfort , the way you identify with the characters and the story, this can never be achieved in english novelss specially for us english as a second language readers.

Amazing, Awesome, too good, tremendous, mysterious, beautiful, brilliant, hard to part once you read this series. Feels like I was with them in every moment be in tilisam, with aayaars, their marriage, their war everything. Recommended to all and this series is an addiction. The series does not end here. Next is Bhhotnath, then Rohtasmath and then Heeron ki Ghati
