About the Author
Folk Tales of the Sahyadris comes from 2021, during the years when over 1,500 books had no platform. Amazon had shut the door. Draft2Digital said they were "a small company for small authors." The writing never stopped — Atharva was 24 and still producing mythology & folklore work with no clear path to publication. The mythology writing draws from Indian traditions and stories that have been part of life in Pune since childhood.
