The author narrates the story simply weaving the tales with one another, building up the vivid spectra of characters and their behaviour leading to the great battle in the kurukshetra ending it with the Pandava’s journey to the Himalayas and Yudhisthira’s Jaya over himself. In addition to the original classic Sanskrit Mahabharata, the author has also tried to include characters and stories from many regional variants of the epic and the folklores. The enthralling journey of the princes of Kuru dynasty is told here in 108 chapters adorned with more than 250 beautiful line drawings by the author himself. Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling Of The Mahabharata One more such attempt by Shri Devdutt Pattnaik has been published in form of a book called “ Jaya” by Penguin Books India. What is it about the Mahabharata that draws every Indian to it? Millenias have passed and yet the epic’s magical power remains intact on the dwellers of the Indian subcontinent resulting in its being reproduced and retold by many.
