Tales retold



Story time Rama’s life in a five-volume set from Amar Chitra Katha

Amar Chitra Katha has launched “Ram Charit Manas”, the new illustrated classic that recreates Tulsidas’ popular version of the Ramayana.

The 160-page comic is a masterful blend of dialogue and illustration that makes it appealing to children of all ages. It depicts five different stages in the life of the hero of Ramayana, including the childhood days of Ram, Ram in exile, abduction of Sita, in search of Sita and Ram – the Victorious.

“Ram Charit Manas”, popularly known as Tulsi Ramayan, has been the most popular book in Hindi for more than 400 years. It narrates the divine story of Ram.

The Ramayan is an integral part of the Indian heritage and the most influential version among these is Tulsidas’ Ram Charit Manas. Like Valmiki’s Ramayan, it is a literary masterpiece that has acquired the status of a scripture and it is this version that is usually enacted in Ram Leelas all over India.

The entire collection in hard bound form is priced at Rs. 250. For more information on ACK Media, log on to www.ack-media.com
