Sesh Chinha

In Kushinagar’s royal court, before the complete cremation of Lord Buddha’s mortal remains, heavy rainfall doused the burning pyre. Some bones, partially burned, led to intense conflict over their ownership within the royal court. Ajatashatru arrived, calming everyone and leaving behind a relic. The relic, Buddha’s left canine tooth, became his ‘Sesh Chinha.’ Upon discovering it, he sets out towards the city of Kalinga, marking the beginning of a miraculous journey. This is not a scrutiny of religious scriptures; ‘Sesh Chinha’ is a historical fiction steeped in the complexities of countless events, eloquently narrated by Himadrikishore Dasgupta.
