Description : Legend has it that the ancient town of Than-

javur came up on the spot where Vishnu defeated an evil demon.

The mighty Cholas made it their capital in the 9th century CE,

following which they increased, through conquests, the size and

strength of their empire. Finally, after realising all his military

ambitions, the Chola monarch Raja Raja Chola I decided to

build a great temple in Thanjavur dedicated to Lord Shiva. Thus

Thanjavur became home to the majestic Brihadeeswara temple

and many other shrines.

Amar Chitra Katha tells the stories surrounding this ancient

town and its monuments.

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.
