ABOUT THIS BOOK

The great goddess Devi comes in many forms and many moods. She is the kind and gentle Parvati, the scholarly Saraswati and also the invincible warrior Durga, who rides out on a lion to fight the evil asuras.

In this book, read three exciting tales about the Devi. Discover how Parvati made Shiva fall in love with her; join the gods as they create the mighty warrior goddess Durga to defeat an asura called Mahisha and find out what happened when Saraswati lost her temper and cursed Lord Brahma! Beautifully retold by Subhadra Sen Gupta and accompanied with Tapas Guha’s magnificent illustrations, this book will be loved by every child.
