The Temple priests seek the help of Harani and Manikkam (the two tech-savvy teenagers from the Payyoli Trilogy series) to find them. The duo is also involved with the SpaceX project for human colonization of Mars. Two scientists from SpaceX on their visit to India mysteriously vanish in their helicopter while exploring the effects of Saturn at the temple of Thirunallar.How the search for the missing Hindu idols leads Harani and Manikkam to the Yucatan caves where the two missing SpaceX scientists are held captive offering prayers to the missing idols, forms the gripping finale of the novel.An amazing and fast-paced ride with our favourite techno-savvy duo of Harani and Manikkam.
