Synopsis:

A soul must return to earth to complete its unfinished karma. But before taking human form again, it is granted one special privilege—to choose its own mother’s womb. However, there is a time limit—just one night to make this choice.

🌙 At the stroke of midnight, this wandering soul embarks on a mystical search to find the right mother.
🌿 The novel follows the soul's journey from conception to birth, structured like the Durga Puja festival:

• Bodhan (Awakening) – The beginning of its quest.
• Saptami, Ashtami, Navami, Dashami – Stages of its spiritual and physical transformation.
  🔥 The title "Kulakundalini" refers to the dormant spiritual energy believed to reside at the base of the human spine, waiting to be awakened.
