{"product_id":"gods-in-exile-avatans-kumar-curator-9789365478150","title":"Gods in Exile","description":"This anthology of short stories draws inspiration from the historical accounts presented in Meenakshi Jain's Flight of Deities and Rebirth of Temples, tracing the Hindu response to the destruction of temples and desecration of their deities during periods of Islamic conquest. Each story captures moments of quiet resilience and bold defiance-acts of devotion, courage, and cultural preservation in the face of profound loss. For centuries, the devastation of temples and mutilation of deities have left a deep, transgenerational wound in the Hindu psyche-a trauma that has only recently begun to be acknowledged in mainstream historical narratives. Cantered on the themes of dharmic resistance and spiritual endurance, the anthology honours the efforts of rulers, communities, and individuals who fought to protect, reclaim, and rebuild their sacred spaces. In doing so, it offers a deeper understanding of the cultural and emotional weight these events continue to carry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Avatans Kumar (Curator)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9365478154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789365478150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bluone Ink Private Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.51d","brand":"Avatans Kumar (Curator)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48588378079487,"sku":"9789365478150","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gods-in-exile-avatans-kumar-curator-9789365478150","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
