They vanished not in flames or flood but in silence. Spirited away beneath velvet shawls, swallowed by cargo holds, entombed behind sterile museum glass—they were no mere artefacts. They were the breath of a multitude, the incandescent soul of a civilisation: memories forged in imperishable bronze, divinity etched in eternal stone. They were waiting—aching—for the whisper of a forgotten prayer, the fiery touch of remembrance.
When Dr. K. Jayanth Murali, an IPS officer nearing retirement, took charge of Tamil Nadu's obscure Idol Wing, he never expected a calling. But what began as duty became destiny: a ghost war, fought not for land, but for the essence of a people; waged not with ballistic fury, but with unyielding grit and the quiet thrum of sacred legacy.
Chasing the Lost Gods is the electrifying, soul-stirring true story of how an unheralded Idol wing team defied oblivion to reclaim India's plundered spirit. Through midnight raids, ancient whispers, and digital shadows, they unearthed what centuries of theft had buried. This is a breathtaking odyssey across crumbling temples, lost timelines, and the beating heart of a nation reclaiming its memory.
Spellbinding. Heart-rending. Soul-awakening. This is not merely a tale of theft and reclamation—it is an epic of gods stolen… and gloriously found. To resurrect what was lost, one must embark on the most perilous hunt: the hunt for the gods themselves.
