Description

Relive the fabulous story of the Ramayana through 108 illustrations to be coloured in. The Sita Colouring Book, based on Devdutt Pattanaik's bestselling retelling of the Ramayana, is a fascinating colouring journey for you to embark on. From the very beginning of the great epic, the birth of Dashratha's four sons, to the passing of Lakshman and Ram at the very end, the remarkably simple yet multilayered story of the Ramayana comes alive through Devdutt's wonderful illustrations. Rediscover some of the most dramatic moments of the great Indian epic, from Ram's breaking of the great bow to the abduction of Sita, from the sacking of Lanka to the building of the bridge across the sea, from the slaying of Ravana to Sita's trial by fire. Imagine the way the Dandaka forest, Kishkindha, Lanka and Ayodhya might have looked, and colour them in all their glory, along with portraits of unforgettable personages like Hanuman, Jambuvan, Jatayu, Surpanakha, Kumbhakarna and Ravana. This is a great colouring adventure that readers of all ages will thoroughly enjoy.
