VAHANA: Gods and Their Favourite Animals

A read-and-colour children’s book, which talks about the favourite animal companions of various gods and how these companions became their vahanas.

 

The gods needed animals to travel around the world and the animals needed the gods to learn how not to be hungry. This was an amazing idea, thanks to goddess Saraswati. This is how Vahana came into being.
