'Mohini: The Enchantress' is a mythological fiction authored by ______.
Anuja Chandramouli
'Mohini: The Enchantress' is a work of mythological fiction that retells the legend of Mohini, portrayed in Hindu mythology as the only female avatar of Lord Vishnu, famed for her role in the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan) and the distribution of amrita.
The book was authored by Anuja Chandramouli, an Indian writer widely recognised for her contemporary retellings of characters and episodes drawn from Indian epics and Puranas.
Her body of work includes well-known titles such as 'Arjuna: Saga of a Pandava Warrior-Prince', 'Kamadeva: The God of Desire', 'Shakti: The Divine Feminine' and 'Yama's Lieutenant', which have established her reputation as a leading voice in modern Indian mythological fiction.
In this particular book she reimagines the Mohini episode, exploring themes of beauty, desire, illusion (maya) and power, weaving human emotion into the divine narrative.
Shobha Rao, Anita Nair and Deepti Naval are Indian writers associated with other genres, literary fiction, poetry and memoir, and none of them authored this mythological retelling.
Hence, the correct answer is Anuja Chandramouli.
