Summary: Mayong finds its mention in the mythological epic 'Mahabharata', along with Pragjyotishpura (ancient Assam). Legend has it that Chief Ghatotkacha took part in the battle of Mahabharata after attaining different magical powers from Mayong.
In the present times, Arnab Bora, a middle aged civil servant, is posted in Mayong, the land of Black Magic, as a Revenue officer. Arnab stays temporarily in the house of Harmohan, a teacher of a government school. Harmohan's wife had gone to stay in their in-laws house for a while, which prompted him to let Arnab stay in his house. Harmohan shows Arnab the place around, where there is none to let him believe the old legend. But the beauty and serenity of the place captivates him over. The villagers, who are die-hard believer, explain to him that nowadays the witch doctors may no longer know the actual mantras which have been lost in the course of time forever.
In his quest, Arnab meets Bina, the attractive wife of a villager, who mesmerizes him and a secret affair is blossomed. Is this the actual magic of Mayong, which people mistake it for wild beasts being tamed magically? Meanwhile, Harmohan's sister-in-law's marriage was canceled due to a superstitious belief of the villagers. She committed suicide later. The incident of the girl's death leaves Arnab disheartened. He had tried to bring modernism among the villagers, but they couldn't accept it due to their age old tradition. When Bina finally dies due to a disease kept hidden by her, Arnab no longer could stay at Mayong.
