Varma that explores the intersection of spirituality and desire in the Himalayas, featuring characters named Mandakini, Guru Brihaspati, and his disciples Kevala and Gyan. The story, inspired by a classic Zen parable, flips the traditional narrative of a monk carrying a woman, focusing instead on themes of Shakti, passion, and the tension between worldly love and spiritual pursuit.
