Lalmohan Ganguly

Lalmohan Ganguly, alias Jatayu (Bengali: জটায়ু) is a fictional character in the Feluda stories written by Satyajit Ray. He writes pulp crime thrillers, but is quite weak and nervous in real life. He is fairly wealthy due to the immense sales of his books. He writes at a frequency of two books a year. His crime fiction stories have interesting and catchy names, often characterised by alliterations like 'Sahara-ey Shiharan (Shivers of Sahara)', 'Honduras-e Hahakar (Shouts at Honduras)', 'Borneo-r Bibhishika (Terror of Borneo)', 'Durdharsh Dushman (Fatal Antagonist)', 'Vancouver-er Vampire (Vampire of Vancouver)', 'Himalaye Hritkampo (Heart Vibration of Himalay)', 'Atlantic-er Atanka (Fright of Atlantic)', 'Anobik Danob (Atomic Monster)', 'Naroker Naam Karakoram (KArakoram is the Name of Hell)', 'Bidghute Bodmash (Weird Villain)', 'Arokto Arab (Bloody Arab)' etc. The names of several Feluda stories also exhibit this feature, for example Joto Kando Kathmandute, Gangtokey Gondogol, Royal Bengal Rahasya, Robertsoner Ruby, Gosainpur Sargaram, Bombaiyer Bombete, Gorosthaney Sabdhan!, Kailashey Kelenkari, Bhuswargo Bhayankar, etc. The detective of Jatayu's novel, Prakhar Rudra, is a character with incredible intellect and power. Lalmohan's grandfather gave his name "Sarbogya Gongopadhyay" but Lalmohan does not use that name. In the Hindi Telefilm Kissa Kathmandu Mein, his name was Lalmohan Garg (not Ganguly, probably so that the viewers understand).
