"We may have heard of the transgender Shikhandi. But Yuvanashva? Hardly. They are but fringe characters in the Mahabaratha. Or so it seems until Devdutt Pattanaik tells us otherwise at a book reading session held at the Odyssey over the weekend.

Pattanaik, a management consultant, is a mythologist by "passion". In his latest release, The Pregnant King, he brings together mythology from the Mahabaratha and its folk versions from Andhra and Tamil Nadu."
