Review of 'Aranyaka' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Stunningly beautiful. Gorgeous. Best work of Amruta Patil.

The collaboration between Devdutt Pattanaik and Amruta Patil is simply magical. I relished this graphic novel by not rushing through. I never knew much about the Vedic period or never cared to know much about Vedas. As an atheist, this graphic novel gave a good context and the perspective on Vedas. I am now curious about these Vedic texts and Puranas. I want to read them or just know them like any literary/mythology text.

This book weaves many complex topics like dharma, nature, mathysya-nyaya (jungle law), and many such related topics in a beautiful and coherent narrative. Aranyaka is a treat for any graphic novel fan. It is the best work of Amruta and Devdutt.
