The book illustrates the beauty of K.K. Hebbar‘s line drawings of Illango Adigal's Silappadikaram. Silappadikaram(“The Tale of the Anklet”) is an ancient Tamil epic composed by the poet Illango Adigal around the 5th - 6th century CE. It tells the tragic story of Kannagi, whose husband Kovalan is unjustly executed for theft, leading her to curse and destroy the city of Madura. Blending poetry, drama, and moral themes, it is one of the Five Great Epics of Tamil literature and a cornerstone of early South Indian cultural history.
