Aghori is a collection of 17 short crisp stories by writer Rajendra Parajuli. This collection consists of stories that give a sneak-peek into different aspects of modern Nepali society. Every person has a different story but not all are shared. The writer has tried to share the stories of such untold expressions, emotions, love, pain, frustration, and happiness in Aghori.

Aghori is Parajuli’s fourth collection of short stories. Besides short stories, Parajuli has also written poetry and novels. His previous collection of stories, Shukraraj Shastri ko Chasma, was shortlisted for Madan Puraskar in 2017.

Aghori’s characters include a failed politician seeking some respite; a Bhutanese researcher trying to unravel the mystery of the Royal Massacre; and an author desperately aiming at the Madan Puraskar.



चार दशक यताको प्रमुख राजनीतिक घटनाक्रम, जनमतसंग्रह, जनआन्दोलन, सशस्त्र द्वन्द्व र मधेश आन्दोलनलाई कथाहरूमा समेटिएको छ । यस पुस्तकमा राजनीतिक बिषय वस्तुमात्र छैन, समाजका थुप्रै क्षेत्रका विसंगति र यथार्थ पनि प्रतिबिम्बित भएका छन् । कथालाई प्रतीक र व्यङ्ग्य मार्फत अभिव्यक्त गर्ने लेखकको  शैलीका कारण ‘अघोरी’ का कथाहरू पठनीय छन् ।
