In a symbolic gesture of reverence to the
traditions and ancient legends of the Tamil Country, the author has dedicated
the book to Tamil Nadu; this is as it should be since the story of this
interesting work, is on certain ancient beliefs centered around the well known
and highly respected Saivite Saints of Tamil Nadu known as the 63 Nayanars. They
all had connections to the iconic temple of Chidambaram where the main deity is
Lord Siva in his manifestation as Lord Nataraja in a dancing pose. The main
story is of course of the present era, the center stage being Chennai and also
the temple city of Chidambaram, noted not only for its grand temple, but also
the surrounding mangrove, "Pichavaram"; considered the second largest salt water
mangrove in the world.
The characterization of the main players in the plot is
attempted with a degree of professionalism, the plot itself is of gripping
interest, the language breezy and easily assimilated by readers of all
categories.
Read the book with its intriguing plot with a liberal sprinkling of
mystery, ancient lore and not in the least, romance.
Congrats to the author for
this fine product.
