About the Book:
Dakhma (Bengali Version) by Ankur Bar is a haunting historical horror-thriller rooted in the dark and mysterious traditions of the Parsi community. The term Dakhma, also known as the “Tower of Silence,” refers to the ancient Parsi funerary structure where the dead are laid to rest.
The story begins in late 10th-century Persia, in the abandoned city of Yazd, where a forbidden ritual is performed involving thirteen young girls—intended to help a group escape to Hindustan unnoticed. But something goes terribly wrong with the final offering, unleashing a dark force that alters the fate of the Parsis forever.
As the narrative shifts across time and geography—from Persia to the coastal regions of Saurashtra—the consequences of that ancient ritual begin to surface. In a remote island near Diu, strange disappearances, forbidden practices, and sinister decisions by a fire temple priest hint at something far more terrifying lurking beneath the surface.
A mysterious wind, a cursed forest, secret dealings, and the arrival of outsiders set the stage for a deadly game of survival. At the heart of it all lies an ancient evil—Aafte Perest—waiting in the shadows, ready to consume everything in its path.
Blending history, folklore, and supernatural horror, Dakhma delivers an intense and atmospheric reading experience that keeps readers on edge till the very end.
