Its a novel written by amish tripathi . It is 2nd part of shiva triology. In this novel the main secrets are nagas who born with physical deformities and believed to be cursed. This part contains adventure of shiva travelling many places much more secrets.
The story starts with shiva runing behind a naga. But not able to catch him instead he got one of his coin. Which were discovered to be of branga. Now shiva and his team accompanying veerbhadra, parwateshwar, bhagirath and others goes to the sacred city kashi to find out the connection of branga with nagas. Here from brangas tribe he comes to know that there is a plague in branga. Nagas provide them medicines to live and in return get brangas coins. Now shiva travels to branga to findout more. Meanwhile sati gives birth to kartikaya. Now in this part shiva started to talk with vasudevas through temples who guides them. They are the clan left behind by lord ram.
After shiva goes during saving villagers from lion attack sati learns a truth that her sister kali and first born son ganesha are naga and abandoned by his father which later becomes a cause of dispute between them and daksha.
In branga shiva defeated parshuram and he gives the medicine recipee to branga. After returning shiva learns that ganesh is involved in murder of brashpati but forgive him after he saves kartikaya.
At last kali takes them all to his capital panchwati through dandak forest where a truth awaits for shiva that bhraspati is alive. In his journey they are attacked by daivi astras which was banned by lord rudra.
In this part it is shown that we donot make any view about anyone only by the rumours as in case of nagas and parshuram.
This is story I assume that by this review all will like it and goes to read this novel.
