The novel was highly controversial and popular for its exploration of witchcraft

As her birthday approaches, Tulasi falls victim to "Kashmora," a form of black magic or witchcraft orchestrated by enemies seeking the inheritance.

The story transported him to a village on the banks of the Tungabhadra river. The protagonist was a woman named Tulasi, named after the sacred plant that grew in the courtyard of her ancestral home. The novel wasn't just a romance; it was a metaphysical journey. It spoke of separation—the viraha —of a soul detached from its body, much like the leaf detached from the stem.
