From time to time, the narrative voice shifts to Rahmat, who shares his musings and adventures that parallel Onu’s boyhood. Described as daring, heroic, and a gifted conversationalist, Rahmat’s life spans a period of rapid transformation.
Set in the village of Bahadurganj within Kapilvastu, Lumbini region of Nepal, this narrative unfolds through the eyes of Onu, the first-person narrator who recalls the tales of his past. Central to his memory is Rahmat, a philosophical neighbour who makes wind-spinners for the village children by day and serves as an undertaker by night. Rahmat’s profound outlook on life leads Onu to regard him as a mentor and he often shadows him on his expeditions across the village plains. Onu perceives the capacious land of Buddha as a realm of elemental profusion, defined by the winds blowing between the icy Himalayan peaks to the north and the great Ganga to the south.
