Divine Beings
As Ravana abducts Sita, the brave vulture Jatayu sacrifices his life trying to save her. With his unparalleled devotion, Nandi gains immortality as Shiva's vahana. The magnificent four-tusked elephant, Airavata emerges from the golden egg of creation to become Indra's trusted vehicle. When Vishnu as Narasimha continues to destroy the world, he takes the form of the two-headed bird, Gandaberunda. Shyama and Sabala, the divine hounds are given the responsible task of guarding Yama's gates. The stories in this Amar Chitra Katha are taken from ancient texts including the Shiva Purana, Vishnu Purana, Gajashastra, the Brahmanas and also from folklore.

This is a beautifully illustrated book on divine beings such as Nandi, Jatayu, Airavata and many more. The stories are written to the point and easy to understand. There are a lot of things to learn, and different versions of some stories are also mentioned at the end. The last pages contain the Vaahanas of various Gods and Goddesses which is very informative.
Overall, it is a fun and good read and recommended to all Mythology lovers.

Just when I smugly assume that I have a good grasp on Indian mythology and the many celestial beings that pepper its pantheon, up pop Shyama, Sabala, Sharabha and Gandaberunda.
Amar Chitra Katha simple and fluid style gives a comforting summary when I lack the inclination to do intense research.

Beautiful
I learned so much from this short book. You would surely learn about the devtas vehicles and how animal deities have helped the devtas.
