Ideal to teach kids about Indian Mythology

This book's speciality is its simplicity. It has two pages dedicated for each mythological character, relegion and festivals. It gives an easy-to-understand explanation for each with some illustrations. Good reading for adults and school-going children. I have decided to buy multiple copies and give it as a birthday gift all year long to various people.

Indian culture unveiled

This book gave me a deep insight into the Indian culture and it's spiritual roots. When I heard about India I was always attracted to its mysticism and colorful culture but wasn't able to understand the meaning of all the details of life in India. This book opened my eyes and gave me an understanding about the Indian, or better to say Vedic, perspective on life and it's meaning as well as the origin of the belief in the "holy cows" and worship of many different personalities. Altogether it is a guidebook to Indian religion, culture and life in general.
