Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling Of The Mahabharata condenses the entire epic, originally known as Jaya, into a tiny capsule. Other than retelling the interesting parts of the Mahabharata, what makes this book a favourite among readers is Pattanaik's rendering of the various local folklores and tales that are associated with the epic, which have been presented in a whole new genre. With a master stroke, the author has elaborated on the storyline by including lesser-known folklore stories of the epic, while keeping its original form and style intact.
The book has been divided into 108 chapters and has vivid illustrations along with 250 simple line drawings painted by Pattanaik himself. Besides infusing the different tales from local versions of the epic, the author has also added folk arts aspects picked up from 'Yakshagana' in Karnataka, 'Terukuttu' in Tamil Nadu and 'Pandavani' in Chhattisgarh to blend with the narrative.Also from
