About the Book
The Immolation
The existence of Ra Navaghan and Devayat Bodar is etched in golden letters in the history of Junagadh—a timeless tale of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering loyalty. Yet, this extraordinary chapter has long remained hidden, passed down quietly through oral traditions but rarely given the prominence it deserves. The Immolation seeks to change that, bringing to light the valor and legacy of the Chudasama dynasty, with a particular focus on the selfless act that forever immortalized Devayat Bodar in the hearts of generations.
Through meticulous research and powerful storytelling, the book transports readers to an era when honor was greater than life itself. It vividly captures the political challenges, emotional struggles, and deep sense of duty that shaped Junagadh’s destiny. More than just a historical account, The Immolation is a revival of cultural pride—a chance to feel the heartbeat of history, walk alongside its heroes, and preserve the values and stories that define our heritage.
