When we hear about art mysteries, we only hear about the Mona Lisa or Stonehenge. Mamta Nainy's new book, 10 Indian Art Mysteries That Have Never Been Solved, tells the stories of ten mysterious people, styles and objects in Indian art from the prehistoric period to the present day-and in the process, it captures some of the diversity and range of the very large canvas we call Indian art.
The stories told here include those of the Bhimbetka paintings, the evolution of The Buddha, the Ajanta Caves, the Kailashanatha temple, the Indian yellow, and many more.
Mamta Nainy explores diverse artistic periods, explains different art forms, and gives insights into the lives of artists working in different times and spaces, one curious case at a time.
Written by Likla All and illustrated by Eva Sanchez Gomez, Abanindranath's House of Stories is about a revolutionary Indian painter who created the Indian Society of Oriental Art and was also the first major exponent of Swadeshi values in Indian art. He also founded the influential Bengal School of Art, which led to the development of modern Indian painting.
The first part of the book is an immersive, interactive story narrated through picture book format. It tells the story of young Abanindranath and how he is terrified of his house, Jorasanko, with its huge imposing presence and its creaking floorboards. He uses his imagination and transforms the shadows not characters. The book then segues into projects and activities for kids.

Will Parvati be able to complete the job that she has set out to do?
Parvati the Elephant’s Very Important Day shares a universal story about duty, responsibility, and success. Structured as a rhyming picture book, Parvati showcases Kerala temple traditions by narrating a day in the life of a temple elephant.
Elephants, despite their magnificent girth and size, are gentle, and highly intelligent animals who balance the ecosystem. These pachyderms have been preyed on for years and are in danger of extinction.
We hope this story will remind children and adult readers of the beauty and majesty of elephants and their value to our world.
Written by Bharathi Veluchami and illustrated by Sandhya T Prakash, this lively board book is about a girl, Sara, who visits her grandmother's house in the village during her holidays.

The book helps children identify Tamil words on the page, including animals, fruits, vegetables and even vehicles. The book is a nice way to learn Tamil by naming different objects in the language. A must-read for children who want to understand, speak and read in Tamil!
An enchanting picture book that playfully explains Buddha’s message of interdependent origins of all life to help raise cooperative and compassionate global citizens. What the Buddha saw in a peepal leaf—cosmic harmony—has been retold lyrically by an imaginary character, Harmony—a leaf of the Bodhi tree.
"வடை போச்சே"(Vadai Pochae) is a colorful, beautifully illustrated, humorous, interactive board book with push, pull, slide and wheel mechanisms. It aids in hand eye co-ordination (especially Pincer grasp), fine motor skills, cognitive skills and vocabulary improvement. Written by Ramya Sethuraman and published by Agan Adhigaram, the book is based on a famous story about the fox that outwits a crow. In the story, a crow is tempted to grab a paati's vadai and fly away. The hungry, cunning fox sees the crow with the vadai in its beak and decides to trick him. The fox says, 'podu thakitaa Dhaka and entices the fox to dance. The book ends with a huge twist and of course, a quote from Thiruvaluvar and also an aphorism - don't cheat and be cheated.
We absolutely love the interactive elements of the book, the tabs and flags that we can turn and lift, perfect for little fingers and to build strength and dexterity.
