In Doppelgänger, a young Brahmin man is thrust into the shadowy folds of an ancient tradition—Niyog, the ritual act of fathering a child on behalf of another. What begins as a duty rooted in sacred custom soon spirals into something far more complicated, blurring the lines between obligation and desire, faith and identity.

Told with unflinching honesty, this is the deeply personal account of a man who agrees to perform a ritual few dare to speak of. But choices made in silence often echo the loudest. Years later, a chance encounter in a remote Kashmiri temple drags the past back into the light, revealing consequences he could never have foreseen.

This is not just a story about tradition—it's about what happens when tradition collides with the human heart.
