Discover the magical world of Indian mythology, history, and folklore through the beloved works of Kamala Chandrakant, the pioneering editor and author who played a central role in shaping Amar Chitra Katha — the iconic Indian illustrated comics and storybook series that has introduced generations of children across India and the world to the rich, colourful world of Hindu mythology, Indian history, regional folk tales, and the lives of great Indians. Founded by Anant Pai in 1967, Amar Chitra Katha (‘Immortal Picture Stories’) became one of the most beloved and culturally significant publishing ventures in Indian history, and Kamala Chandrakant was one of its most prolific and gifted contributors — writing and editing dozens of titles that brought the stories of Krishna, Rama, Hanuman, Savitri, Shakuntala, Akbar and Birbal, Tenali Raman, and countless other beloved figures to life for young readers with warmth, clarity, and a deep love of the tradition. Her books have been treasured by Indian families for decades and remain the perfect introduction to India’s extraordinary storytelling heritage for children of all ages. Essential reading — and gifting — for every Indian child and for anyone who wants to discover the magic of India’s mythological and folk traditions.
