The Cipher of Kailash

by Rahul Rai

Swayamvar of Sita is about to commence in Mithila. Ram, fighting for his people, is about to receive an invitation to attend.- A sage wants to hand over a divine weapon to the prince of Ayodhya.- A king wishes to own anything considered precious.- A Yaksha is busy hoarding gold for eternity.- A Rakshasha wants to rule Lanka.‘The master holds all the strings.' Shiva watches in silence as the anger of Parshuram, the envy of Arjun, the greed of Kuber, and the pride of Ravan fight for their place in the world.
