like Ashoka, Akbar and Harsha, this collection will evoke a sense of pride in India's tradition of valiant men

and women. 

We are also happy to announce the release of two Tinkle collections. One features the best loved dog and cat

detectives, Mopes and Purr . The other brings together a collection of well-known and new Folktales from

Central Asia. 

In Hindi, we have the best-loved Valmiki Ramayana in a translation. 

In addition, our usual magazines: Tinkle, Tinkle Digest, Tinkle Double Digest and Brainwave. And in its new

incarnation as a teen magazine, Suppandi 48 brings a whole new range of characters, stories and roll -on-the-

floor -laughing new features. Do not miss the new issue! 

WIshing you a joyful, mirthful and wonderful end of the year!

ISBN  : 9788184825978 

Size  : 24.13 x 17.78cm

Category  : ACK Single - Epics and Mythology 

Binding  : Paperback  

MRP  : ` 50 

Description  :As dawn breaks, Surya the Sun God, leaps

over the horizon in his chariot, pulled by seven radiant horses.

As he rises into the sky he spreads light and warmth all over the

world. 

The great Ganga king, Narasimha Rao, commissioned 1200 arti-

sans to recreate this scene in stone. 

The Konark Sun Temple is a place where the lines between fact,

fiction and folklore have blurred over time. Amar Chitra Katha

interweaves the history of the 13th

century monument with some

of the mythology associated with it.

MRP  : ` 100 

Description  : Sage Valmiki was overcome with grief and

anger when he saw the cruel killing of one of a pair of Krauncha

 birds. In his anguish he cursed the hunter. To his own surprise

the curse came out in the form of a beautiful verse. Thus was

  born the sloka with which India's greatest epics were written.

Valmiki himself wrote the Ramayana in 24000 verses. 

The Hindi translation of the Amar Chitra Katha based on

Valmiki's Ramayana brings to life the much loved story of Rama

and his search for truth and righteousness.
