The book tells the story of King Azad Bakht and his adventures with four Darweshes, or wandering holy men. The Darweshes tell the king a series of stories, each one more fantastical than the last, that teach him important lessons about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. Along the way, the king meets a cast of colorful characters, including a beautiful princess, a wicked sorcerer, and a wise old sage. The Bagh O Bahar is a timeless tale of adventure and enlightenment, filled with vivid descriptions of exotic lands and captivating characters.
