    About the book: 2012 / The success of Dan Brown's books, first of all, of course, the sensational "The Da Vinci Code", defined the framework of such a genre of literature as detective fiction a puzzle game based on historical, pseudo-historical and religious motifs. Dan Brown touched on a topic of interest to Europeans and Americans - the history of Christianity. Indian author Ashwin Sanghi decided to take the skeleton of the plot of Dan Brown's bestseller as a basis and write a book that would be interesting, first of all, to the readers of his country. Therefore, instead of the Bible and Christian legends and traditions, on the pages of the “Key of Krishna” we find the “Mahabharata” and myths about Krishna, perhaps the most famous and beloved god in India. Ashwin Sanghi is well known for writing fantasy thriller novels. So, undoubtedly, “The Key of Krishna” is essentially a thriller, but this time it works on the basis of anthropology. Instead of the American professor Robert Langdon, the main character in the book is also a professor, historian Ravi Mohan Saini, around whom the carousel of murders, mysterious artifacts, ciphers, chases and other attributes of the genre. In addition, the book is replete with historical information, both traditional and, as they are commonly called, alternative. Ravi Mohan Saini, a historian by profession, is accused of murdering his childhood friend Anil Varshney. Saini is also convicted of stealing a sacred seal that could help in revealing the secrets of Dwarka. Saini must prove his innocence against the charge of murder.

From the sandy ruins of Kalibangan to the Vrindavan temple destroyed by Aurangzeb, Saini must also delve into antiquity to prevent a grave miscarriage of justice. While searching for the true reason for the murder, Saini embarks on a thrilling journey to unravel the mystery that revolves around the sacred seal. He goes through the ancient structures of Dwarka that were destroyed somewhere in history to reach the Vrindavan temple. Saini's move to Vrindavan is an attempt to stop the killer from killing his friends and also to discover the hidden treasure of Lord Krishna.
