In a world far removed from the great epic Ramayana, the fearsome spirit of Tataka is unleashed once again, spreading terror across the mysterious Mahamaya Forest. When a tribe worships a grotesque rakasha and performs dark rituals in hopes of summo...
Hi Folks I am Akshay here . This is my first book in Wattpad and hope you all love the story we made. I would like you all to comment and chat regarding this book .
In the year 1 CE, a mysterious forest known as Mahamaya emerged after a millennium, laden with enormous, crimson-barked trees. A lifeblood-like red liquid would seep from any wounds inflicted upon the trees. Within this eerie forest, a tribe lived, paying homage to a grotesque wood-carved female raksasha, a mythical creature. The tribe members adorned themselves with necklaces fashioned from the teeth of flesh-hungry predators and donned uniforms marred by bloodstains.

The tribe's chief, Mahavidyan, arrived at the forest in a bull-drawn cart. Greeted by the tribe members bowing in homage, one of his followers presented him with a crown forged from ivory, intricately carved with a sinister raksasha figure. Mahavidyan, seated before the raksasha carving, tasked a devotee to buy a human sacrifice for their ritual.
A thirteen-year-old girl was forcibly brought forth to serve as the sacrifice. Her mouth smothered with an ominous black cloth to silence her cries, when she was bound in ropes. The cultists recited a chant in the obscure Mahamayan tongue:
Barkanomi Tantra mudhyan isha Saptami vadyan.
Nara muna sojnya katta kopami badrayan.
Their incantation grew to a frenzied roar, while the girl shook uncontrollably in abject terror. Mahavidyan then raised his axe and swiftly beheaded her. Blood gushed forth, and the carving's luminosity surged in response, its once-calm eyes now pulsing with fiery red brilliance. The tribe erupted in a war cry, invoking the name of their deity, and as the light enveloped them, the forest pulsed with the presence and power of the raksasha.
Yet, the celestial spectacle extinguished, and upon reawakening, Mahavidyan discovered a shocking sight: the carving's eyes were marred, a dark void now embedding its gaze. Consumed by curiosity and dire consequences, Mahavidyan asserted the devil had allowed her ethereal form to traverse the lands of the Hind subcontinent. Driven by this revelation, they must now begin a relentless hunt for any signs or manifestations of her spiritual presence.
Mahavidyan is at a loss for finding the spiritual embodiment of Rakshi, and he is clueless about how to uncover it. Desperate, he instructs his followers to disperse across the Pakshim Hindh and report any signs of Rakshi's power they may find in people they encounter. They will regroup and discuss their next steps once they have gathered information. Mahavidyan's followers divide into four smaller groups to search for the spiritual essence of Rakshi.
Each group is led by a distinctive individual with a unique connection to the dark energies they seek. Mahavidyan leads the first group, Ettulam—who hails from the distant south—leads the second, and Candrika, a 60-year-old elder and Mahavidyan's sister, leads the third. Rakshogi, a former snake charmer, leads the fourth.
They all worship the sacred murthi in the tree, which is the murthi of Tatakha, the demon killed long ago by Lord Rama. In this world, there are communities with the secret knowledge to revive the power of raksasha through occult practices. One such tribe is the people of Mahamaya, whose leader carries the title Mahavidyan.
The Mahamaya Forest, where this tribe has made their home, is a place of shadows and cool temperatures (usually 12-22°C). The trees bleed a red, life-giving liquid, and the tribe has built their sanctuary among the gnarled roots and woody limbs of the forest's towering trees. Their houses are made of rosewood, and the whole cult tribe has transformed into a tribal community.
In the Pakshim Hind region, the city is divided into three tiers. The first-tier is a city made of Basalt rocks, a place of art and culture where only the rich and privileged can afford homes built from the rock. They had a big hospital, a shopping complex and other buildings made of basalt rock. A big basalt palace where the royals lived the basalt palace is called royal house. It is a dream for those in the second-tier. Second tire —middle-class citizens who live in carved This city has middle income population which lived in carved cave house cutting basalt rock. They have access to schools, hospitals, and shopping infrastructure.
The third-tier is for outcasts, those who have been punished by the royal house and cast out to live in forest houses made of rosewood. These outcasts are forced to embrace a life of hunting, fishing, and seeking shelter. Some turn to thievery or join cults as a means of survival.
In the mystical land of Pakshim Hind, where ancient teachings and traditions blend with modern life, four enigmatic groups embarked on their individual quests, venturing deep into the heart of the realm's complex tapestry.
The Euttlam group, unyielding and courageous, pressed forward to explore regions beyond the enigmatic Mahamayan Forest, seeking answers to the questions that haunted their restless souls. Simultaneously, Candrika led her band of intrepid explorers into the second tier, delving into the lives of middle-class citizens and uncovering the intricacies of their society to find spiritual embodiment.
Unswerving in purpose, the Rakshogi faction navigated the shifting sands of the insidious royal city, while the Mahavidyan group forged onward in the archaic royal palace. Their shared aim remained fixed firmly in their minds: to uncover the mysterious spiritual embodiment in city nestled within the durable basalt rock that served as its bedrock.
In the third-tier city, homes of revered rosewood witnessed the birth of valuable knowledge regarding the existence of distant civilizations scattered across the vast expanse of the Pakshim Hindh. Conflictingly, the inhabitants of the first tier possessed the opportunity to traverse the manifold web of otherworldly societies that thrived in the land, while the people of the second tier were required to get special permission to venture beyond their homeland's boundaries.
At odds with this reality, the denizens of the third tier found themselves shackled by a restrictive decree, forever ensnared by the area of third tier city. Yet, the allure of searching spiritual embodiment is strong within their hearts, too. Even Mahavidyan, trapped within his urban confines, yearned to break free and blaze a trail through the labyrinthine corridors of the royal palace in his and find the way out if spiritual embodiment is not found in this civilization.
In the Mahavidyan tribe, a significant transformation in their attire and way of life is required for them to blend into various regions of the basalt city. The Mahamaya Forest can be found in the third tier of the basalt city, which is a part of the Hind subcontinent. The tribe members traditionally wear uniforms covered in bloodstains, and each of them carries black clay amulets that are embellished with unsettling bone carvings. The inhabitants of the second and third tiers of the city wear jute clothes.
The major distinction between the citizens of the third tier and second tier lies in the possession of a sealed ivory coin. Third-tier residents do not have these valuable coins. The residents in the first tier, being a privileged group, wear luxurious silk garments. These upper-tier citizens use distinctive silver swastika coins with punched marks as their currency, reflecting their elite status.
Mahavidyan must plan to enter these four different locations. The cult members of Mahamaya Forest of third tire basalt city are not been known. But folklore of the cult is a well-known all-around basalt city. The people know they is a cult which prays Raksashi Tataka somewhere in third tire city.
