KONARK 833 KONARK
TEMPLE TO THE SUN
Author
: Nimmy Chacko
Illustrator : Arijit Dutta Chowdhury
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.

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.
