Adi Parva is a graphic novel based on the Mahabharat and the oral tradition of ancient India. Adi Parva draws from the classic Sanskrit epic, the Mahabharat, and the Vishnu Purana. In it, the celestial river Ganga narrates the events from the beginning of time. The story is played out by a medley of characters ranging from gods to sages, queens to seers, hermits to seductresses and kings to warriors as they come together in this graphic retelling of Hindu mythology. This epic graphic novel depicts timeless events such as the churning of the sea, the snake sacrifice of Janmejaya and the first time the queen Gandhari wears a blindfold. The book combines breath-taking art with classic storytelling to paint the picture of a tale which has inspired and guided several hundred generations of people throughout the history of India.

I started reading this as I want to introduce Mahabharata to my son in the bedtime stories. I realised I didn’t know much of the work in detail. So this book is my way to get my journey started into this epic.
Adi Parva sets a good context, introduces to the backstories of various characters of Mahabharata. Somehow I felt it was a slog to finish this book even though the art is stunning. I wish the story could have been narrated better, but that is a minor quibble. ( )
