A romantic triangle and a man’s journey of faith and self-discovery amidst the scenic mountains of mystical Kashmir form the heart of former J&K Governor Karan Singh’s debut fictional work, The Temple of Shiva.

At a late evening discussion in Delhi yesterday, Singh delved into the themes and inspirations behind his first and only work of fiction. In conversation with writer Sanjula Sharma, he shared profound insights into literature, philosophy and storytelling.

Published by Parchment Publications, Singh’s book weaves together history, mythology and devotion, offering a rich narrative about faith and personal transformation. During the discussion, Singh revealed that his protagonist, Ashok, is an alter ego of sorts—what he might have been had he not been born into his current circumstances. “Your first novel, “he remarked, “always reflects the inner life of the author.”
