OurWe are well aware of the diversity and respect that Hindu Mythology persuades in the world these days. Although it has both its aspect bright and dark its path leads to a lot of beliefs, rituals, and practices. Some give us the boon of great well-being and happiness the rest drift us to a dark path with encounters of various ghosts and paranormal entities. One of the prominent names coming up these days in the category of paranormal entities i.e. “Munjya.”
What Is Munjya As Per Hindu Mythology?
Munjya comes in the category of brahmarakshas , and there are saying by our ancestors that if the boy who is from the Brahman family dies at an early age with an unfulfilled task which can be a certain ambition, desire, or fantasy. If unfulfilled he never leaves the mortal realm and dwells around the banyan or peepal tree. As we all know the mentality of teenagers is stubborn.
It is their process of life that pivots them towards the path of maturity which helps them to evolved enough to make correct and accurate decision in life. But if a pure-blooded bramhan boy misses the path of maturity and dies at an early age due to uncertain reasons, with a baggage full of pending desires. He walks on a dark path becoming a brahmarakshas who usually dwells around the banyan or peepal tree by the name called “Muniya” Sound’s a bit incomplete right? Here the full story of how a young boy named Gotya turned in to a munjya.
The Premise Of Munjya
The story turns around in the year 1952 when a young brahmin boy named gotya fall’s in love with a girl called Munni. But unfortunately, munni’s marriage is already been fixed with another man. Flair-up with this information stubborn Gotya is ready to cross any limits in attaining munni. By poising his fiancé which is fails, but the cards turn when her mother gets to know about the same. And she takes all strict measures to make sure Gotya is aware that he can never unite with Munni ever.
But stubborn Gotya doesn’t back off by walking the dark path and taking his sister to Chetukwadi where he performs black magic underneath the peepal tree so he can unite with Munni forever. But the ritual comes with a cost as he has to sacrifice a living soul i.e. where he attempts to sacrifice his sister.
Although she somehow saves herself from this horror. However the entire situation turns upside down. When Gotya meets his fate i.e. “death” by getting his head hit to the tree trunk turning himself into a munjya. Although the movie has a sad start the entire journey of Munjya is a combination of comedy and jump scared.
