 “As a country, we have an issue stepping out of our past shadow,” Anuja Chandramouli, the young author who lives in Sivakasi, is said to have said. She is a popular writer of several books and has every right to say so because she has thoroughly explored writing books of the genre of mythological fantasies and historical fictions in the Indian context. 

 A graduate in Psychology and a holder of Master’s degree in English, Anuja’s debut novel ‘Arjuna – The Saga of a Pandava Warrior-Prince’, was named as one of the top 5 sellers in the Indian writing category by Amazon India. She followed that novel by stories about many Indian mythological and historical figures like Kamadeva, Yama, Kartikeya, Mohini, Ganga, Prithviraj Chauhan and so on. She regularly conducts creative writing workshops to students and is an accomplished Bharathanatyam dancer.
