Aghori Rajendra Parajuli

Aghori is a collection of 17 short crisp stories by writer Rajendra Parajuli. This collection consists of stories that give a sneak-peek into different aspects of modern Nepali society. Every person has a different story but not all are shared. The writer has tried to share the stories of such untold expressions, emotions, love, pain, frustration, and happiness in Aghori.

Aghori is Parajuli's fourth collection of short stories. Besides short stories, Parajuli has also written poetry and novels. His previous collection of stories, Shukraraj Shastri ko Chasma, was shortlisted for Madan Puraskar in 2017.

Aghori's characters include a failed politician seeking some respite; a Bhutanese researcher trying to unravel the mystery of the Royal Massacre; and an author desperately aiming at the Madan Puraskar.
