Bishnuloke Sandhya Name by Himadrikishore Dasgupta [Hardcover]

The ancient temple city of Angkor Wat, once the heart of Cambodia’s Khmer Empire, has long fascinated historians and travelers alike. Lost to the world for centuries, it re-emerged in the last century, revealing its stunning grandeur and enigmatic past. Among its many wonders stands the Bishnu Temple, once known as Bishnulok—the sacred realm where the souls of the virtuous were believed to ascend after death. Yet, scattered across this vast temple city are nameless ruins, shrouded in eerie legends. Locals whisper that these temples are not just relics of the past, but dwelling places for tormented spirits—souls denied entry into Vishnulok due to their misdeeds, who have waited for centuries to reclaim their place. Some even believe that hidden within these ruins lies the lost treasure of a mighty Khmer emperor. When a group of young archaeologists from India arrive to restore one such temple, they find themselves entangled in an unfolding mystery. As history and the present collide, the lines between myth and reality blur. Will they uncover the truth hidden within the ancient stones, or will they fall prey to the shadows of the past? Set against the hauntingly beautiful backdrop of Angkor Wat, ‘Bishnuloke Sandhya Name’ is a gripping historical thriller that seamlessly weaves history, legend, and suspense. Himadrikishore Dasgupta, known for his masterful storytelling in historical fiction, takes readers on a spine-chilling journey into the depths of an ancient enigma.
