Description

Basava and Sivakka are two ordinary children growing up in the village of

Hampi in Karnataka. One day, Basava finds a set of sculpting hammer and

chisel, and as he starts carving with them, the magical instruments take them

right back in time to the Hampi of the sixteenth

century, when it was ruled by

the great Krishnadeva Raya!

Here they make friends and are plunged into a world of scheming dancers,

talented artists, powerful emperors who live in fabulous palaces and more.

And when Basava becomes an apprentice sculptor, he is commissioned by the

legendary Tenali Rama himself to create something in stone that will make

him laugh!

Subhadra Sen Gupta can make history come alive like no one else. This pageturning

adventure story is not only exciting, but is also filled with the wonder

that was once the magnificent Vijayanagar Kingdom.
