Growing up, Amar Chitra Katha books were a huge part of my world. I remember flipping through the pages, eyes wide with wonder as I read about gods, kings, wise sages, and mischievous animals. These weren’t just stories—they were adventures that made Indian mythology feel fun, colourful, and easy to understand. And most importantly, they helped me feel connected to where I come from.
Today’s kids are drawn to epic fantasy worlds—whether it’s Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, or Avatar: The Last Airbender. And that’s great! But there’s something equally magical about the stories we grew up with. Indian mythology is full of drama, power, humour, and life lessons. The trick? It has to be told in a way they actually enjoy.
That’s why I’ve put together a list of 5 must-read Indian mythology collections for kids 7 and up—books that bring back the charm of our myths and culture, but in a format they’ll love just as much as their favourite fantasy series.
Let’s bring our kids back to the stories we once loved—only this time, in a way that fits their world.
