Param Vir Chakra
The Param Vir Chakra is the highest decoration of valour in wartime, awarded to members of the Indian Armed Forces. The men who have been awarded this ultimate honour displayed indomitable courage and selfless devotion to duty, while defending the borders of our nation. It is only the most fearless who can summon the will to stand their ground and fight the enemy in the face of death. Only the bravest can challenge the ultimate sacrifice, so that no one else has to. Amar Chitra Katha tells the stories of 21 fearless heroes, for whom their own lives were less important than the sovereignty of India, and the safety of their fellow citizens. 21 stirring tales of bravery, courage and sacrifice, that need to be told and remembered, as an inspiration for generations to come.
Leave it to Birbal
Birbal's wit and presence of mind made him a favourite of the Emperor Akbar. An honour not without hazards as half the nobles in the court had their knives out for him. According to legend, he was constantly being tested and made to prove himself - a challenge he took up readily. Amar Chitra Katha presents enthralling stories of the greatest wit in the Mughal Court./A
Tirupati
When Vishnu returned to Vaikuntha after his Krishna avatar, Brahma, the creator, began to worry about the earth. Without Vishnu, he was afraid, chaos would ensue. So he and his son Narada, the wandering sage, set in motion a plan to get Vishnu to return to earth. A talking anthill, an arrogant sage, an irate cowherd, and even the asura king Ravana, each have their parts to play in these stories that describe the founding of the Venkateshwara temple at Tirupati. Set amongst the lovely Tirumala hills, this temple to Lord Vishnu, is one of the most beautiful temples in the world. It is said that more than 50,000 people visit this shrine every day, to pray to Venkateshwara to wash away their sins.
Srinivasa Ramanujan (Amar Chitra Katha)
When Srinivasa Ramanujan was born in the small town of Kumbakonam in 1887, his parents did not suspect that he would grow up to be one of the most extraordinary people in the world. In fact, he was such a quiet child that they worried he would never speak. But Ramanujan's grandfather taught him to read, the little boy rapidly discovered a delight in learning, especially in mathematics. It was a delight that would shape his life and that of everyone he met. Ramanujan's short life was one of extremes, of shining mental exuberance and great poverty, of unrelenting hard work and of equally unrelenting illness. But his genius, his sheer enthusiasm and his fervor for mathematics never dimmed and his legacy lives on.

Thanjavur
Legend has it that the ancient town of Thanjavur came up on the spot where Vishnu defeated an evil demon. The mighty Cholas made it their capital in the 9th century CE, following which they increased, through conquests, the size and strength of their empire. Finally, after realizing all his military ambitions, the Chola monarch Raja Raja Chola I decided to build a great temple in Thanjavur dedicated to Lord Shiva. Thus Thanjavur became home to the majestic Brihadeeswara temple and many other shrines. Amar Chitra Katha tells the stories surrounding this ancient town and its monuments.
