Ajatashatru: Amar Chitra Katha Vol. 660 (P)

Ajatashatru, the powerful son of King Bimbisara of Magadha, lived during the time of Lord Buddha and expanded his kingdom into one of the mightiest empires in ancient India. A brilliant warrior and strategist, he conquered 36 states and waged a fierce war against the democratic Lichchhavi Republic, led by the noble Chetaka. Yet, despite his victories, inner turmoil and guilt led him to seek solace in the teachings of the Buddha. Transformed by faith, Ajatashatru became a devoted follower, building stupas, renovating monasteries, and convening the first Buddhist Council after the Buddha’s death.

This Amar Chitra Katha comic beautifully captures his journey from ambition to enlightenment — a story of power, redemption, and spiritual awakening.

For readers aged 6 and above.
