Nihar Bhonsule's novel "The Path of Sukshmaloka" is winning the hearts of mythological fiction lovers. Nihar, the author of this scintillating dark fantasy, says that his inspiration behind writing this novel is to illustrate and enlighten people with the beauty of Hindu scriptures in a thrilling and intriguing way. He further adds, "This was an attempt to tell the story of a Super-Hero with a very deep spiritual lesson at the core. I wanted to show how a superhero can be grey. He can be someone who is a little emotional, maybe a little unkempt, confused and rough around the edges. The goal was to enlighten people and contribute more to their life beyond a simple entertainment experience."
The premise of "The Path of Sukshmaloka" starts off in Mumbai where the existence of humans is endangered by the destruction caused by powerful, notorious beings called the Rakshasas. Two mystical heroes named ‘The Dust-Man’ and ‘Street Archer" seem to be in a tough battle against them. Then the story travels to a different time zone 3102BC where Dwarka is facing destruction by a mystical cult of crocodile-men. This destruction is retorted to by a glorious sect of Mahabharata’s, unknown, ex-warriors who have been blessed with boons from obscure, divine energy.
Nihar enjoys reading different genres such as horror, fantasy, crime, and thriller. He has spent years of his life in libraries and coffee shops reading the Epic Mahabharata and decoding the various metaphors to discover the deeper philosophy and way of life penned in the text. His knowledge and understanding of Hindu mythology reflect impeccably in "The Path of Sukshmaloka"
