About this book

For Bhuvaneśvarī, a fierce athlete and staunch skeptic, the ancient verses of the Ramayana were nothing more than campfire stories—grand, poetic, but ultimately distant. That all changes when she discovers a series of hidden geographical markers that shouldn't exist, yet align perfectly with the Atlas of Sugriva. 
Her visit for tournament to Hampi takes a supernatural turn; through the ethereal art of astral travel, she is pulled across the veil of time. She stands in the presence of Sugriva himself, gaining a breathtaking, ring-side view of the Ramayana as it truly unfolded.Suddenly, the "mythical" landscape of ancient India begins to bleed into her modern reality, transforming the world she thought she knew into a sprawling, dangerous puzzle that only she can solve.
"Flag of Ananta" is more than an adventure; it is a pulse-pounding invitation to explore the soul of Indian civilization. It challenges the notion that Itihasa is mere fiction, proving instead that our ancestral roots are buried just beneath the surface, waiting to be rediscovered.
