It Happened Along The Kaveri: A Journey Through Space And Time [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

For 802 kilometres, the Kaveri river winds her way through hills, valleys, and plains, seeking to fulfill her destiny, her union with the Lord of the Sea. In this carefully researched book on the river Kaveri, authors Padma Seshadri and Padma Malini Sundararaghavan take us from the river's origin in Talakaveri to the site of the ancient port of Poompuhar, engaging us with stories from mythology and history and anecdotes from the lives of great people who have shaped the regions along her banks. Why did a Chola king dive into the chasm into which Kaveri vanished? How did Kaveri set the Kodagu style of draping a sari? How did a spider become a king? How did the Handsome Bridegroom of Srirangam, himself 'abducted', find a bride from another faith? Find out on this exciting journey that brings to life our rich and varied heritage.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
