Buy from FlipkartPrincess Kusum Kumari is a woman rich in beauty and intellect. But her father, Kuber Singh, worries about her future. He and his friend King Indranath of Bihar had learned astrology together, and upon putting their knowledge to practice, found out the princess' fate—she will be forcefully married to a powerful man. Wanting to save his daughter from such an atrocity, Kuber Singh promises his daughter to Indranath's son, Prince Ranbir Singh. Kusum, however, is blissfully unaware that her entire life is being decided for her. What will happen when she finds out the truth?
Born on June 29, 1861, in the Muzaffarpur district of Bihar, Devakinandan Khatri was the first writer in Indian literature to publish tilismanic novels—stories that portrayed a world filled with magic and illusions, where fantastical things happened. At the age of 26, Khatri shot to fame with Chandrakanta, his first tilismanic novel. It became immensely popular at the time of its publication, so much so that many Urdu-speaking people began to learn Hindi just so they could read this book. It was adapted for a television series of the same name, telecast in Doordarshan and other channels. Apart from Chandrakanta, Khatri wrote many other works that were phenomenal successes, such as Chandrakanta Santati, Bhootnath, Kusum Kumari, Katora Bhar Khoon, and many more. Leaving a treasure trove of entertaining Hindi novels for his readers, Devakinandan Khatri breathed his last on August 1, 1913.
