Book Title: Sita: An Illustrated Retelling of the Ramayana Author: Devdutt Pattanaik Approx Leisure Read Time: 300 – 340 min Review: For someone who has already read another book by the same author, it generally is quite difficult not to compare the two books.

Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of the Mahabharata – Book Review

Book Title: Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of the Mahabharata Author: Devdutt Pattanaik Approx Leisure Read Time: 320 – 360 min Review:  Impressions first. Book’s cover is really eye catching.
