Myth = Mithya A Handbook of Hindu Mythology by Devdutt Pattanaik
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
After reading Jaya and Sita this book is a let down. It is not a book for Indians who have a background in Indian mythology. The book may be interesting for foreigners who have no background to Indian mythology.
The author also has added enough controversial details like talking about erect phallus of Shiva and other details which would enthuse the one who like to believe that India is a land of snake charmers and a country where elephants and where people believe myth and mythology more than scientifically proven things.
Not a very good read.
