Description:

Shiva Plays Dumb Charades is a delightful and ingeniously crafted story from mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik, part of the Fun in Devlok series. One evening, five children are deep in a game of dumb charades when none other than Lord Shiva himself turns up and insists on joining in. As it happens, Shiva is absolutely unbeatable at the game — because everything about him already is dumb charades. His rattle drum, the crescent moon in his hair, the cobra around his neck, the fountain of water flowing from his head, his many poses and gestures — each carries a rich story and a deeper meaning. Through laughter, riddles, and playful action, the children end up learning more about Shiva and Hindu mythology than they ever imagined. Clever, warm, and wonderfully accessible. Recommended for readers aged 6 and above.
