One-of-a-kind engaging read!\nSailors have wives from port to port. Wives means port-courtesans group. And the port that does not have a port, that port is not a port at all! Tamralipta or Tamalika port lost its prestige as the main port of Bengal. However, some foreign ships still came and anchored there. Not for trade, but in a harbor town. It is managed by a porter called Matsyagandha. The ship of the Portuguese sailor Estadio arrived at that port one day. Then?... A love story, love on the one hand, a horror narrative on the other, is developed around the dying prostitute of the Tamalika port. In the context of the turbulent period of Vasco da Gama's expedition to India, this long historical novel 'Bandar Sundari', based on Tamalika port, is not just a novel, but a historical document of the life story of the port courtesans in the wrapper of the novel.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Patra Bharati","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48329339797754,"sku":"L1DKE46S3HTQ","price":323.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/0473\/5226\/files\/L1DKE46S3HTQ_Cover_1.jpg?v=1740117962","url":"https:\/\/versoz.co.in\/products\/l1dke46s3htq","provider":"VERSOZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
