“Pareekshit”

In "Pareekshit," the fate of a king hangs in the balance after a fateful insult leads to a serpent's curse—doomed to die by the hand of Takshaka, the Serpent King. As his son Janamejaya vows vengeance, a firestorm of retribution begins, threatening to consume all serpents until a sage’s intervention may yet change the course of destiny. Written by B. R. Bhagwat and illustrated by Prabhakar Khanolkar in a vivid, unified artistic vision, this tale from Amar Chitra Katha brings ancient myth to life with quiet power. The cover, by C. M. Vitankar, captures the tension between wrath and redemption.
