About the Book

Indian culture is one of the oldest and for over 3,000 years it has been accumulating the sacred stories and heroic epics that make up the magic trove called Indian mythology. Pulsing with creation, destruction, love, betrayal and war, these myths have been subjected to multiple retellings over the centuries. Yet, these eternal stories of good versus evil never fail to impress.
From the misuse of Rishi Vyas’s special communication technology, to Jambavan’s musings on his immortality; from Karna’s pouring of his heart to Draupadi in a letter, to an ageing Gandhari’s musings on what happened and what could be; from the young King Vajra’s recurrent dreams of a mysterious smiling woman, to what happens when the Shiva decides to travel from Kailash to various temples…
In The Readomania Book of Indian Mythology, eleven authors explore various enigmatic characters from the 33 million gods and two legendary epics and narrate resounding stories that have a surprisingly innate association with the present day.
