Irendri is a powerful sorceress who wreaked havoc across Anga Rajyam, instilling fear among its inhabitants. Her reign of terror was eventually stopped when a wise guru captured her, preventing her from manipulating people’s lives, and ultimately destroying her. However, before her demise, Irendri managed to preserve her essence by taking her soul and imprisoning it within a small locket.
