![]() I am no exception :)Ī Mahabharat akhbaar as art catalogue across IST (with ST as spirit time here) this is a gut perfect sweep of headline characters/moments. In author's words, "Mahabharata sprawls from fantastic creation myths to gritty battlefields from bodily preoccupations to the material and spiritual from grooming kings to encouraging renunciates." "The reservoirs of knowledge are now for our asking all we need is our attention, and our question."Īn avid reader of Indian mythology definitely read multiple renditions of Ramayana and Mahabharata and never hesitate to read one more rendition. ![]() ![]() In both the books, the abstract(?!?), philosophical writing with new imaginations is very refreshing! I love a book when I learn something from that book. Without knowing the epic tale before, it will be hard to follow. However, the illustrations are equally captivating with transitioning between charcoal drawing, line drawing to multi medium art, both muted and brilliant, vivid colors!!Īdi Parva is not for beginners of Mahabharata. The writings were so engaging, my eyes strayed not so much on illustrations. The illustrations are unusual, in a good sense, complementing the writings! Can a book be abstract? that's how I felt reading this rendition of Mahabharata. First, hats off to sutradhaar Amruta Patil, a multi-talented one - writer and illustrator. ![]() This review is for both Adi Parva and Sauptik. ![]()
