Mandala Murders' Ending Explained

Running upto the climax set in Charandaspur, audience is left with many questions - Ananya Bhardwaj's revelation before Vikram Singh (Vaibhav Raj Gupta) about being an Ayasti (member of Ayast Mandal - a secret cult set tou to resurrect their god or yast to life through a dark ritual practice with a Aayast Yantra). Her reference about the 'blood of the miracle son' and connection with Vikram and how he is saved. What happens next?

The fact that Ananya Bhardwaj is related to Rukmini Bhardwaj (played by Shriya Pilgaonkar) comes to light. But who dies? 

The show ends with Aaditi Pohankar's aka Moksha in jail, leaving several questions unanswered and dropping major hints at the possible season 2.
