About the book
Kalaant - End Of An Era, Volume 1 - End Begins
In popular belief, Lord Kalki—the tenth and final avatar of Lord Vishnu—will end Kalyuga by defeating the demon Kali. But what if this is only half the story?
Kalaant: End of an Era presents a bold and imaginative take on Hindu mythology, introducing a powerful avatar of Lord Shiva—destined to bring destruction at the close of Kalyuga. This Shiva avatar, silent yet pivotal, collaborates with Lord Vishnu just as he has in every yuga and every incarnation.
The narrative explores themes of cosmic duty, divine purpose, and the intricate balance of creation and destruction. Drawing on timeless myths and weaving them with original interpretation, Kalaant challenges readers to see the end of an era not as annihilation, but as the necessary rebirth of the universe.
