but also is constantly at war with his neighbors, a last ditch
effort of a country for peace. Raja Tantra Choo Mantra is about
conquering and coming to terms with not only the outside realities
but also of our internal turmoil. Some wars are fought in the
battleground and many others are fought inside our mind. While the
girl has her powers the King has his own little secret. Is the evil
King defeated...how and what happens to him...is what the play
attempts to unravel. Storytellers tell and enact the play using
