Ponniyin Selvan Route Map is the book you need to read!
Anyone who's read the popular Tamil novel Ponniyin Selvan, would have surely thought about taking a journey on the trail of its jubilant hero - Vandhiyathevan. Loyal fans wouldn't even call this a journey, they'd consider it a pilgrimage to cover the Chola lands where events from the novel take place. But do these locations from the 10th century exist even today? Yes, they do! And the trail is filled with scenic spots, marvelous architecture and grand temples.
The sheer magnitude of the novel – with 5 volumes and 2400+ pages, can throw some people off guard. This book delightfully retells the entire story as Kalki envisioned it, with dialogues and descriptions, but in a much shorter book (two hours reading time)
The fact that it got the recognition of scholars, historians, journalists, authors and even movie stars (including Karthi who played the role of Vandhiyathevan in the film adaptation) speaks for its credibility and interest quotient.
Are you ready to travel into the mesmerizing world of Kalki, be awestruck by the magnanimity of the characters and maybe shed a teardrop admiring their sacrifices?
