“I am Bhima. The second Pandava. The killer of a hundred of my own kinsmen. The man in the shadows. And this is my story.”

Everyone knows Bhima as the man who killed a hundred Kauravas. But who was Bhima, the man? A lover? A brother? A father? Is there anything beyond his strength and power?

He loved a woman. She never loved him back. He loved a brother. The brother loved his wife. He loved his son. His brothers sacrificed him. He loved them all. And, they broke him.

The Beauty and Bhima is a refreshing take on the story of Bhima, the Pandava who always remained unsung, endowing him with complexity and emotion, while remaining humorous and accessible to a modern readership.

Fans of Stephen Fry and Madeline Miller will enjoy this contemporary retelling of Bhima’s story from the Mahabharata, the greatest Indian epic of all time.
