Worlds apart by birth, bound by a beat the universe placed between them.In an ancient kingdom ruled by tradition and decree, Svaha, a princess with the heart of a rebel, and Ishan, a pyre-keeper's son who carries kindness like a flame, choose the one thing no law has made room for: love.Their defiance will become legend.

A door between ice and fire that has waited lifetimes to open.SATISHVA is a mythic love story inspired by the ancient tale of Lord Shiva and Goddess Sati, reimagined through ecology, courage, and the belief that love is the oldest rebellion and nature is the truest witness."With you," he says."Wait for me," she answers.
