Fun In Devlok: Saraswati’S Secret River by Devdutt Pattanaik [Paperback]

This unusual collection of stories from ancient myths, authored by the writer of Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of the Mahabharata and Myth=Mithya, brings divine narratives to life for children. In this enchanting tale, Mrs. Sivakami, the principal of Madame Mira High School, encounters Goddess Saraswati, who is searching for the vanished River Saraswati.

To help the goddess, Mrs. Sivakami embarks on a magical journey on the back of Hansa, a goose, where she visits various schools—some chaotic and others governed by strange rules, such as students with parrot heads. Through these experiences, she learns the significance of reviving the ancient river and how she can bring its essence back to her own school. Filled with delightful illustrations, this book introduces children to rich mythological themes in an accessible and engaging way.
