The cover was unveiled by Indian superstar Rajinikanth on 21 July 2025.

Plot

Set in 1025 CE, the novel fictionalizes the Chola Empire's retaliation against Mahmud of Ghazni's raid on the Somnath Temple.

Background

Tripathi, known for reimagining Indian mythology and history in works like the ''Shiva Trilogy'', drew inspiration from the Chola dynasty's naval prowess and their alliance with northern kings against invasions. He researched ancient texts and inscriptions to ground the fiction in facts, emphasizing the Cholas' role in Indian Ocean trade and temple architecture. The book critiques modern media's portrayal of history, urging accurate representation of Indian rulers.
