Ashwin Sanghi on The Vault of Vishnu

Bestselling fiction writer Ashwin Sanghi called his upcoming book, 'The Vault of Vishnu', the sixth in his popular mythological 'Bharat series', his most ambitious project yet.
The book, which will be officially launched at the 13th edition of the Jaipur Literature Festival on January 23, 2019 by Sanghi and popular Bollywood actor and author Sonali Bendre Behl, tells the story of three travellers who keep moving along an ancient trade route in search of answers.
Published by Westand Books, Sanghi's latest work uses his favourite tool -- mythology, and blends it with history to deliver some "edge-of-the-seat action". Other books in the "Bharat series" include "The Rozabal Line", "Chanakya's Chant", "The Krishna Key", "The Sialkot Saga", and "Keepers of the Kalachakra".
