Amar Chitra Katha brings you handpicked unique tales and fables of India that help inculcate culture and values in your child at a very early age. Each volume has a different theme. These include India’s epics and mythology, India’s history, folktales and fables from every corner of this land, and more.

Here is a brief of what’s in each volume:

Volume 1: Epics and mythological stories- How did Kubera lose the Pushpaka Viman? Why did Kumbhakarna sleep for six months at a stretch? Why was Amba determined to take revenge across lifetimes? What is the true message of the Bhagwad Gita?

Volume 2: Fables and folktales- The stories from the Hitopadesha or the Jataka tales have lasted centuries, from the time of oral storytelling to modern mediums of communication. The anecdotes of Birbal and Tenali Raman tell us about the importance of wit and a presence of mind.

Volume 3: Events from the lives of great men and women- When Ashoka looked at the destruction on the battlefield in Kalinga, something changed inside him. When Gandhi was thrown off the train in South Africa, his life took an unanticipated turn.

Volume 4: The history of India- The Konark temple was built by Narasimha Deva I in honour of Surya, the Sun god, but as per mythology, Krishna’s son, Samba had built a temple for the Sun god. Thanjavur’s origin is linked to the asura Thanjan, slain by Vishnu himself, who asked that a beautiful town come up at the spot while dying. Years later, the Brihadeeswara temple was built there by Raja Raja Chola.

Volume 5: Odds defied by women of India- Rani Lakshmibai fought the British like a tigress. Razia Sultan was the first woman to sit on the throne of Delhi, defying patriarchy. Mother Theresa lived her message of compassion by caring for the poorest of the poor.
