This special box set includes some of Devdutt Pattanaik's most widely read works, taking you on an ethereal journey across the world of Hindu mythology. Myth=Mithya, drawing on references from the Vedas and Puranas, regales us with tales of Brahma-Saraswati, Vishnu-Lakshmi and Shiva-Shakti. The playful and touching-and sometimes disturbing-stories in Shikhandi reveal that queerness isn't only modern, Western or sexual. The Pregnant King tells the fascinating story of Yuvanashva, a childless king who must follow the path of dharma after he accidentally becomes pregnant and gives birth to his heir.
