Description

कहानी 1993 की, जब अयोध्या के विवादित ढाँचा गिरा देने के बाद संसद में भगवा धारियों की गिनती बढ़ने लगी थी और इलाहबाद में भगवा रंग हावी था। कहानी शुक्ला परिवार की लाड़ली शशि शुक्ला की, जिसकी बदमाशियों और मुहफट व्यवहार के संगम के मल्लाह से लेकर बड़े गुरुजी, सब क़ायल थे, जिसका B.A. में अड्मिशन होना पूरी झूँसी की शान थी। महाशिवरात्रि का वो मेला जब शशि शुक्ला ने पहली बार उसको देखा, शंख बजाता वो अघोरी, जो शंख को ऊपर किए उसमें अपार प्राणो की शक्ति भर रहा था। उसे ताकती वो मानो खो गई थी ।उसकी यात्रा अब इलाहबाद यूनिवर्सिटी के कैम्पस से संगम घाट के शमशान तक पहुँच चुकी थी। इस प्रेम कहानी का ये आग़ाज़ भर था, उस प्रेम कहानी का जो आज भी दो संसारों को प्रेम से जोड़ने की बात करता है। एक ब्राह्मण की पुत्री का अघोरी से यूँ मोहित होना एक नए धर्म युद्ध का “शंखनाद” था।

1992, The year that changed India as we knew it. People were killing and getting killed in the name of religion. But this was not the only conflict in the name of faith that year. Away from world’s attention another cold war was on the brink of turning hot. This was happening in another holy city - PRAYAG… the land of confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswat.
Prayag was engulfed in a violent tussle between two sects of Hinduism. Between the city’s powerful priestly class and the ascetic Aghoris. This battle of hegemony over the Sangam Ghat had left many casualties.
Bhairav, a coffin child, is brought up in the severe ascetic tradition of Aghoris, in the cremation ground area of Prayag. Bhairav grows up to into a great devotee of Shiva and Kali. Bhairav’s coreligionists think of him as the successor of the sect’s head.
On the other side of the city, Chief Priest’s daughter Shashi is a vivacious girl who likes to live life to its fullest. But her life turns upside-down when she falls for ascetic Bhairav… who is on a love long vow of celibacy.

Shashi’s passionate love for Bhairav does the “Sankhanaad”
for a conflict that ends up engulfing the whole city in its flames.
