Synopsis:

The novel Ujan Jatra is an inner journey, a quest for roots that leads two vastly different characters—Kasturi, a Gurjar girl from the north-west, and Kajal Munda, a tribal youth—onto a common path.
Both start their journey from Kolkata, using it as their base camp, only to find their separate quests converging at the same destination.
Is this a mere coincidence, or is there a deeper, hidden meaning—a cosmic signal that guides their fate?
The novel explores the duality of reality—we often perceive deception, despair, and corruption as the ultimate truth, but beneath it lies honesty, sincerity, and perseverance, unseen like the moon hidden in daylight.
The characters in Ujan Jatra are not monochromatic or free of conflict, but their struggles are different from the usual self-serving clashes.
Through memories and events, the narrative builds up an invisible drama of human relationships, connecting past and present.
The key question remains: Does the pain of unfulfilled desires lead to an ultimate realization, or does it end in frustration, resentment, and failure, like any ordinary life?
