The classic tale of the Ramayana springs to life through the brush strokes of India's most revered painter. B. G. Sharma portrays Rama, the king of Ayodhya, in his charming, youthful adventures and in battle with the demon Ravana. All Rama's friends and companions are captured with spirit and sentiment, from his loving queen, Sita, to the monkey-like Hanuman.B. G. Sharma's association with this translation insures that this book will be very well received in Hindu and New Age circles.

Mandala [Woods Distributing Co. and Bookpeople] releases another gorgeous Hindu art book with Ramayana: A Tale of Gods and Demons by Ranchor Prime. Artist B.G. Sharma contributes amazing paintings that illustrate the classic epic of Rama's exploits, drawing on the traditional styles of Kangra, Kishangarh and Moghal art to tell the story. Gold, gold, gold is everywhere throughout this beautifully designed book, both within the paintings and as borders and textual ornamentation around them. The result is a rich, elegant banquet of ancient saga and vivid art. Nov.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
