Story Overview

This stunning epic-like fiction book covers a story of Chandra and Tara, whose descendants ruled India. Buddha, the son of Chandra and Tara, was a progenitor of Chandravanshi kings. Except for a few, most of the kings mentioned in the oldest book, Rigveda were their descendants.

Key Characters and Events

The story of Tarawife of Brihaspati who eloped with Chandra and conceived his seed to produce progenitor of Chandravansh, who ruled India for thousands of years is interesting to the readers. Pururava, son of Buddha and Ila and the first Chandravanshi, emerged as the most powerful king at Pratisthan who protected Devas from Asuras.

Themes and Purpose

This is a story of courage, adventure, and the bravery of Vaivaswat Manu, the creator of Aryavart, giver of social and religious laws—the Manusmriti—and his journey to establish the kingdoms of the Aryans to spread the Vedic culture. The author's pure intention is to present an image of prehistory in the form of a fictional story.

The Puranic facts are not distorted, but the gaps are logically dramatized so that the readers develop an imagination of a branch of the Aryans' world that existed after the great flood.
