Anandvan [ on hold ]

~ प्रेम की लिखी गई थी वो कहानी,
श्मशान के राजा के लिए,महल छोड़ कर आई थी एक महारानी। 🌸✨⛰️

Rudra has spent 25 years watching the world end.

Raised on the burning steps of Manikarnika Ghat, he grew up with smoke in his lungs and silence in his bones. No parents. No surname. No ambitions.
He lights pyres for the abandoned - the bodies no one claims.

He doesn't fear death.
He works with it.

To him, life is simple.
It begins somewhere. It ends here.
And he belongs to the ending.

Then she sees him.
Princess Gauri Rajput.
Graceful. Educated. Raised in a palace where everything is polished - including emotions.

But her philosophy was never about diamonds or dynasties.She believes life should be felt, not displayed.

And somehow, in a place full of ashes, she feels something alive for the first time.

She falls first.
Not because he saves her.
Not because he changes for her.

She falls because he is real.
Because he doesn't pretend.
Because in a world obsessed with status, he stands untouched by it.

Rudra doesn't understand what she sees in him.
He has only known fire as duty - not warmth.
But when he falls...

he falls like the pyre he lights
-slow ignition, then unstoppable flame.

A princess from a royal bloodline.
A man who cremates the dead for a living.

Two worlds that were never meant to meet
