The Illustrated Mahabharata: The definitive guide to India’s greatest epic

Gives a brief insight to the mahabharatam with visual imagery and perfect narration,systematic and reallygreat for young adults.

I enjoyed every page of this illustrative retelling. Such a expansive subject has been compressed in single volume. Every page is a delight. If you want a piece of Indian culture on your shelf, grab this as early as you can. Everyone will love it. Age no bar. Wisdom is for everyone.

This is an amazing gift for a Bibliophile who loves to read about Indian cultures history. Just collected all 3 Illustrated editions of this collection. And in love with the illustration.Though some illustrations were not historically accurate but it’s feast for the eyes and soul

The Author Bibek Debroy's edition of Mahabharat is one amongst the famous English editions as it has the exact same contents of authentic version of Veda Vyasa Sanskrit Poem.This book is based on the same author and DK has done it's best in illustrating the story of Mahabharat.The quality of the paper is so good and glossy and also the book is very sturdy. Amazon packed the book in a simple cover only, but luckily no damages were there during the delivery.The price in the Amazon is the lowest comparing the cost from the other dealers for the same book.Anyways I am so happy that the worlds greatest epic is in my hands now.Appropriate age to learn this illustrated book is 13+. Definitely not suitable for the kids, but adults will definitely enjoy reading this book.If you are looking the Mahabharat for kids, then you can go with Amar Chitra Katha Mahabharat boxed edition.

Great collectors item and gift idea

Wish I could give one extra rating to the book. So picturesque and collects evidence of the epic from various sources including painting, dance and statues all over the Bharatvarsha. Every page summarizes one part of the story with pictures. Please note if this is your first book on Mahabharata, then it should not be bought. I refer Mahabharata (3 volumes) by Amar Chitra Katha for an easy understanding of the epic. Then this book can be supplemented to a deeper understanding. Also, please note the book is not written from a religious point of view, but it does conveys the greatness of Bharatvarsha. The story try to follow the sequence of the epic but it may not be the case always. What is amazing is its collection of stories which I have never read elsewhere like law of niyoga and story of Sikhandi. Definitely a must buy.
