The Curse of Kehama, Volume 1 (of 2)

This sweeping narrative poem transports listeners to an ancient Indian empire, drawing richly from Hindu myth and its pantheon of gods, demons, and sacred sites. At its heart is the terrible curse of Kehama, a sorcerer whose dark magic threatens to upend both mortal life and divine order. The verses pulse with vivid images of blazing streets, midnight funerals, and countless souls drawn into a looming calamity.

The opening scenes plunge us into a city awash in firelight, where crowds gather beneath a crimson sky and the supernatural forces begin to stir. From this turmoil a courageous figure steps forward, determined to confront the curse and navigate the perilous realms of heaven, hell, and hidden sanctuaries. The story blends legendary spectacle with questions of power, devotion, and the price of hubris, offering a lyrical adventure that feels both epic and intimately human.
