Шаблон:Short descriptionШаблон:Use dmy dates Chandrakanta Santati is an epic fantasy adventure Hindi novel by Devaki Nandan Khatri. Published in 6 Volumes, it serves as the sequel to Chandrakanta, the first modern Hindi novel which was released in 1888.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

The phenomenal success of Chandrakanta prompted Devaki Nandan Khatri to write a 24-part sequel (which was further divided into 295-chapters or bayaans) titled Chandrakanta Santati (Chandrakanta's Progeny).

The novel primarily revolves around a mechanized labyrinth called "Tilism Of Jamania" prophesied to be broken by Chandrakanta's son Indrajeet Singh & Anand Singh with the help of a book called Rakt-Granth. The novel has various characters from Chandrakanta along with introducing a plethora of new characters.[9]

Sequel

This was followed by Bhootnath, a novel that detailed the exploits of an aiyar of the same name who had figured prominently in his earlier novels. He had modelled it on Chandrakanta Santati but could finish only 6-parts before his untimely death on August 1, 1913. His son Durga Prasad Khatri, who himself earned fame as a writer on account of his novels Raktamandir and Mrityukiran, finished the novel and wrote the next 15-parts.[12]
