The first book in both the Shiva Trilogy and the Amish Tripathi series is titled The Immortals of Meluha.
Indian author Amish Tripathi uses a fantastical approach to write about Hindu mythology. In his work, he humanizes god and presents him as a regular person just like the rest of us. In this book, he describes the Hindu god Lord Shiva as a human. This tells us how Lord Shiva has a human life, complete with all of the good and bad aspects of humanity. The conversations between Shiva and Sathi, Shiva and Nandanandhi, and so forth are all conducted in ordinary local dialect. so that everyone is able to read and comprehend. The author never fails to amaze me with each new page. This book was fantastic. This is a book that readers of all ages can enjoy.
