TWENTY-ONE GHATS

Twenty-One Ghats: An Ode to the Feminine Power is a poetic exploration of a woman’s life through twenty-one transformative crossings. Drawing from Indian cultural philosophy, each poem stands at a threshold - birth, becoming, giving, awakening, and release. The ghats serve as metaphorical steps, marking transitions rather than endpoints. Written in disciplined meter and reflective language, the collection resists romanticisation, choosing honesty over ornament. These poems honour everyday resilience, quiet sacrifice, and hard-won wisdom. The book invites readers not to consume a story, but to pause, recognise, and reflect on lives often lived fully yet invisibly.
