As bestselling author Anand Neelakantan peels back the layers of Valmiki’s timeless saga, these stories of ambition, love, devotion and courage shine through, inviting readers to look at the women anew. Lovers, sisters, wives and mothers who hold a complex epic together—these are the women of Valmiki’s Ramayana

As Sivagami takes on the kingdom’s enemies, guided by Somadeva, she finds in her own manoeuvres an echo of the man she has always detested. In her journey to becoming the queen of Mahishmathi, Sivagami must choose between love and ambition, principles and deviousness, selflessness and envy. What does she hold on to, what does she let go? A thrilling, breathless read, Queen of Mahishmathi is the third and final book in the Bāhubali: Before the Beginning series.

In this book, Anand Neelakantan’s Asuras are a powerhouse of talent-they are gifted musicians and warriors, and are also intelligent superhumans, born with magical and shapeshifting powers.
Be it the tale of the clumsy Bhasmasura, who threatens to destroy Lord Shiva after the latter gifts him the power to turn anything into ashes, or the asura brothers Shumba and Nishumba, who thought women were weaker than men, these short stories offer a light-hearted take on the asuras. Neelakantan’s witty, conversational and self-deprecating humour-he tells his reader that he is “often mistaken for an asura, for he too has curly hair”-makes it a pleasurable read.

This book is an introduction to the marvellous world of Indian Puranas. This book makes mythology cool and fascinating and is a must-read for all children.  It is an absolutely, definitely, surely great way to get children interested in Indian mythology. 

Presenting Chaturanga, Book 2 of the Bahubali Series.
