In the secluded Himalayan village of Fhuwanji, the ordinary becomes extraordinary—a simple gourd, the joukhoorei, holds a secret tethered to the universe’s destiny. When a ferocious deluge ravages the village, its enigmatic keeper, Baulungbwrai, disappears, leaving the villagers reeling and a prophecy looming: the fate of Fhuwanji will forever change.

The Lost Soul of the Joukhoorei is a magical tale brimming with vivid imagery, timeless folklore, and heart-stopping twists. Rashmi Narzary’s lyrical prose, redolent of the legends of her land but imbued with universal concerns, invites you into a world where the lines between myth and reality blur, and every choice carries the weight of destiny.
