Goddess Mandap
In a forgotten village hidden in the forests of India, the goddess is still worshipped the old way - with blood, silence, and brides.
When Priya, a fiery 22-year-old from another village, is forced into an arranged marriage, she expects the worst - but not this. Her new husband is a person, bound to an ancient temple that reeks of sacrifice and secrets. The villagers treat him like a god. He treats her like a ritual.
Each night, she is told to enter the Mandapam - the shadowed stone chamber where the goddess sleeps and husbands take their wives. But the lines between faith and domination, desire and devotion, soon blur.
The darker Priya's feelings grow, the closer she gets to the truth about her husband... and the reason she was brought here.

𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐠 -𝐀 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐲, & 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞.
Set in the 1980s, in a village where traditions hold more power than dreams. Tara-a young woman trapped by societal expectations, burdened by rejection, and scarred by loss. With nowhere left to turn, she finds herself at the edge of despair, questioning if there's anything left to fight for. Then there's Dhruv-a man who refuses to accept the world's injustices as fate. Practical yet defiant, he challenges the very beliefs that have kept Tara caged. When their paths collide on a fateful night, neither of them realizes that this meeting will change their lives forever. This is their story-a tale of love, defiance, and the struggle to break free from a society that refuses to change. But in a world where rules are set in stone, can love truly rewrite destiny? ☆ Warning - This story explores themes that may be sensitive or uncomfortable for some readers. It is entirely fictional and based on my imagination. Given its setting in the 1980s, in a rural village, certain events may reflect harsh societal realities. Reader discretion is advised.
