Lotus Land

This was not by chance, but by choice, as this holy land was fulfilling a prophecy that could become the basis of existence for the entire humankind after the Kali Yuga ends.
The first book of the Konark Secret Duology is the tale of Bishnu Maharana, the chief architect of the Konark Temple. This is his journey about how he became a master architect and the secrets he unravels while constructing this shrine.
Was this temple just a grand monument or were there secrets behind its construction? Why was an unusual technique being used for its creation, when there were tried and tested methods? Did this monument hold some secret within itself? Was Bishnu Maharana an architect or a man of secrets?

Bhuban Patra, a contemporary traveller, discovered his passion for writing when he began exploring and then blogging about Odisha, one of the eastern states of India, which possessed a fascinating historical and maritime legacy. Born in Balasore, a quaint district town in Odisha, Bhuban was raised in Bhubaneswar, the
capital city.
Delving deep into the history and culture of Odisha, he found monuments yet unexplored and stories still untold. His passion for travel and spontaneous photography led him to share the treasures he found
through his blog and books. His first book, Lotus Land: The Secrets of Padma Kshetra (Leadstart Inkstate 2020), has garnered wide
appreciation.
