  1. Rohit Bhardwaz –

    An informative and engaging book that sheds light on often-overlooked aspects of Hindu mythology.

  2. Yashika Rajani –

    Found this book insightful. It made me question a lot of assumptions I had. Though, at some places, it felt a little too academic.

  3. Swarnima Maheshwari –

    An okay read. I wish the writing was more engaging. The subject matter is definitely intriguing, but the execution fell a little short.

  4. Rahul Sonowal –

    A unique perspective, but I felt it could have been better organized. Still a worthwhile read for those interested in mythology and gender.

  5. Anshul Singla –

    Fascinating exploration of queer themes in Hindu mythology. Pattanaik’s insights are thought-provoking and challenge conventional interpretations.

  6. Daksh Dagar –

    I loved learning about these lesser-known stories! Pattanaik’s writing is clear and accessible. Highly recommend.

  7. Hemanth Lanka –

    Devdutt Pattanaik does it again! A great look into untold stories. It is simply a must read.

  8. Kumar Eklavya –

    Pattanaik’s work is always interesting. This book opens up new perspectives on mythology. Some stories felt a bit repetitive though.
