The Truth Unveiled (Tamil Edition): The Legend of Ponnivala [Tamil Series 2, Book 2]

"The Legend of Ponnivala" is a vast, ancient epic from the Kongu region of South India, where it is known as the "Annanmar Kathai" or "Elder Brothers' Story." It is the story of three generations of a farming family who through their exploits and the intercession of the Hindu gods rise to become kings of their region. Previously only told orally by bards in the local area, it is surprisingly accurate in its accounts of historical events, and has close ties to the Mahabharata. In Episode 15: The family’s clansmen attack the Ponnivala palace and send the King, Queen, and baby girl into exile. They flee to a forest area ruled by hill tribesmen.
