Amar Chitra Katha #683
A legendary tale of duty and sacrifice unfolds in "Bahubali," a story from Amar Chitra Katha #683. When the eldest son Bharata demands submission from his brothers, only Bahubali refuses—facing him in combat not for power, but principle. Written by Subba Rao and brought to life through the unified art of Dilip Kadam—pencils, inks, colors, and letters—and featuring the striking cover by C. M. Vitankar, this issue captures a moment of quiet heroism that echoes through time.
