Plot

The story begins with a writer and his friend become acquainted with the titular Tantrik and are immediately captivated by the richness of his experience, and the way he tells his stories. Taranath tells them the stories of his origin and his difficult tutelage under various gurus of the dark arts and his experiences with love, spirituality and carnal desires. He also recalls the various instances where his help is sought to cast out a malicious spirit or explain a mysterious paranormal phenomenon. The duo keep going back to him, and he keeps telling them stories — either for the love of his favourite brand of cigarettes or to get a long-standing load off his chest.[3][4][5][6][7]
