Jyotirlekha

Thirteen-year-old Tara didn't expect her family's Himalayan road trip to become the start of a mystical quest. But when she touches a glowing Shiva lingam in Kedarnath, starts seeing visions of the past, and discovers a hidden scroll in her ancestral haveli in Kashi-Tara realizes she's been chosen. For what? Even she doesn't know... yet. Guided by her curious brother, protective parents, ancient chants, and a silent guardian in the form of Hanuman ji, Tara begins to uncover a forgotten truth buried in the legends of the Chiranjeevis. As the spiral symbol awakens across sacred lands, Tara must follow the whispers of the river and protect a secret that could change everything.
