This thrilling adventure is set against the backdrop of the stunning landscapes of Karnataka, with its unique environmental beauty and natural wonders. The journey to find the elusive lizard brings together a diverse group of characters: Mandanna, the simple yet resourceful man from a backward village; Yangta, whose terrifying reputation precedes him; Kiwi, a clever dog with an uncanny ability to track; and Karvalo, a great scientist whose knowledge and expertise guide the group.

Through their search, the novel delves deep into the themes of nature, survival, and the complex relationships that bind people together. Alongside the excitement of the hunt, it explores the lively, heartfelt bonds among these characters, each of whom brings something vital to the journey.

The book is a delightful combination of adventure, environmental awareness, and the human spirit, bringing the beauty of Karnataka's wilderness to life while emphasizing the importance of preserving nature and its rare, endangered species.
