Review of "Indian Puranic Plays"

Book: Indian Puranic Plays: Truth alone Triumphs
By: P. Thulasimani

Indian Puranic Plays is a collection of three puranic plays Yayati, Harishchandra and katha Sarita sagar. The author begins the book by explaining about mythology. The author very well highlights the difference between puranic and Vedic Gods and the beliefs. 
"History is adorned with jewels of myths" Well stated in the book ๐Ÿ“– with the context to each play as it is observed in a new point of view.

First the play begins with Yayati the author introduces the characters and the plot and the author explains his belief and how a character is actually observed and how he has portrayed the characters. 

Similarly followed by the other plays Harishchandra's, Chandrahari  and Katha Sarit Sagar. 

I enjoyed the plays as its writing style of script was fabulous and quite engaging.
One observes the play in a new perspective.
Author has done a commendable job by working on these puranic plays for the new generation.

Highly recommended the book
5/5 star
