“Planning a trip to Hampi? Read this first, and the ruins fill up again with bazaars, temples and a great king prone to the odd royal tantrum.”
Amma's father was a king, and not just any king.
Krishna Deva Raya: King of Kings is a warm, funny illustrated story about the great Vijayanagara king and his dazzling city of Hampi.
Up on a hill, a curious girl learns that her Amma's father was Krishna Deva Raya. As Amma remembers the palaces, temples and bazaars of his time, the girl fires off question after question. Along the way, the story explores the region's history, traditions, food and festivals.
Why children love it
- Amma's delight in Raya's "hu-MON-gous" city, from singing stone pillars to bustling bazaars.
- The funny tale of how a very long town name ended up as Hosa Pete, or New Town.
- Rich, full-colour pictures of elephant processions, chariots and golden temple towers.
By Roopa Pai · Illustrated by Archana Sreenivasan · English
