"Kohinoor has long been a part of history books. Magnificent stories, folklores and superstitions are attached to its name. Having long been gone from the soil of India, it now lies in the Tower of London under the control of the British. However, a sheer mention of it still evokes an eternal link to the land of its original belonging, India.

One look and Teja seems similar to any other Indian kid. However, a most extraordinary future lies ahead of him.

A dream, a rainbow, a ring and finally a royalty changes the course of this wise and witty guy's life towards the west in the quest to bring back the mountain of light to its homeland.

From here starts the roller-coaster ride of fun, courage and adventure towards one of the most difficult yet sought after tasks in an Indian heart."
