Beautiful and Adorable Adventure of Tara
In childhood, we all had our own little stories of introduction with Devtas and those personal interactions with them. Especially the intimate ones—when we wished for something or complained about a small problem, hoping it would be resolved. It slowly became a ritual-like situation where we spoke to them while bowing down during puja or festival times. For a child, this phase is very delicate, as they begin developing a relationship with Devtas, and later, one of them may even become our Ishta Devta.
It’s heartening to see someone writing about such an important topic that most of us have forgotten over the years. I never thought I would be so deeply reconnected with memories of talking to Bhagwanji, helping during puja, and getting closer to them through the stories from the Puranas that we used to listen to. Sometimes I feel strange when someone says they don’t know about Shreemad Bhagwat Puran or Shiv Puran, because they hold so many stories of different Devtas. But then I also understand that today there are countless books and many different ways of learning about them.
That’s why it made me genuinely happy to see such a meaningful story being told to children through a comic, and that too with such beautiful illustrations. The story is deep and emotionally transforming. Without giving any spoilers, I truly appreciate how maturely it has ended and how it makes us realise something profound. We need such stories to help children understand Sanatan Dharma and its real connection with the truth of life. These are not merely fictional tales meant only for entertainment, but reflections of truths that we all seek—truths that a child can begin to understand from an early age.
The characters are beautifully portrayed and adorably developed, instantly connecting with our real-life experiences. I especially loved the innocence of Tara.
Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most celebrated festivals in Bharat. Taking it to the next level through this story, while still keeping it so local and relatable, is truly a praiseworthy effort by the author. All those small, realistic elements make the comic even more adorable and engaging—even for adults. Children will definitely connect with it, love it, and remember it for years, just like we remember the stories our grandmothers told us in our childhood.
Overall, it’s a truly delightful experience. I would love to read more such stories, and I honestly can’t take my eyes off the beautiful illustrations of Ganesha in this comic. Definitely recommended for children as well as elders—because, after all, we are all still children at heart.
