JAIPUR: One of the standout sessions at the Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF) 2026 on Wednesday featured Ashwin Sanghi, who spoke about his latest thriller, The Ayodhya Alliance. Widely regarded as one of India’s foremost writers of historical fiction, Ashwin Sanghi once again delves into his signature narrative terrain in The Ayodhya Alliance, seamlessly blending mythology, history, science, and geopolitics. In this gripping thriller, he envisions a world where an ancient, long-forgotten technology—concealed within the sacred landscape of Ayodhya—possesses the potential to alter the course of human destiny. Their journey takes them far beyond borders and belief systems, tracing a mysterious thread that links Ayodhya to Kailash, Rome, Thailand, and Korea. What begins as a search for ancient knowledge, soon spirals into a global conspiracy that blurs the lines between faith, power, and modern ambition.
