The Ramayana- Sanjay Patel
By Eilidh Bell
I think that the the Ramayana has been captured not only as a graphic novel, but also in a 2D and patterned style, to catch the readers attention. Presenting the epic this way allows us to follow the hero through his journey in a fun and interesting way.
The cartoon way the Ramayana is depicted lets younger children read and understand a story they otherwise wouldn't. The cute depiction of the characters also give these children a chance to grasp an idea of the image of Hindu deities.

Learning about the Ramayana through Sanjay Patel's graphic novel has helped my understanding of the epic through it's simplicity. Patel's illustrations of the Ramayana are easy to interpret and don't overwhelm the reader.
The reason for the graphic interpretation of the Ramayana that Sanjay Patel has used starts with his childhood. Patel's parents were believers of the Hindu faith, so he grew up with the mythology surrounding his everyday life. But not only that; Patel had also been drawing for as long as he could remember.

As Sanjay Patel read the Ramayana he realized that the world described in the epic was "visually rich" and there were not many interpretations of the Ramayana in a modern, graphic form. Because of his background in Pixar animation, Patel felt that a "flat colorful aesthetic was a natural fit." As he stated in an interview.
