Anupma

“Is it the movement of time or the result of our deeds,” said Anupama’s mother to her husband Kalacharya, “that Anupama has been abducted? It is clear that Rupmati has played a role in this plot, supported by the power of Gard Bhil and the cunning schemes of Ramabhatt.” In ancient Ujjain, the pleasure-loving king Gard Bhil abducted the daughter of the people, Anupama, and imprisoned her in his palace — an act that triggered a terrible upheaval, shaking the very foundations of the city. Out of this turmoil rose the valiant emperor Vikramaditya, whose name endures even today through the Vikram Samvat era. This is a powerful, event-driven historical novel.
