Ishani Kantaria's 108 Puzzles has brought cultural and religious stories to life. With the aim of finding innovative ways for the upcoming generation to connect with Hindu mythology powerful texts, she launched the first puzzle on Diwali last year. It was dedicated to Lord Hanumana, an ardent devotee of Lord Rama.

The revered Hanuman Chalisa is brought to life with a 108-piece colourful illustration along with a handy translation explaining each verse. Inspired by her renowned grandfather Pujya Rambapa and her parents, Ishani strongly believes in the values and strength that is imparted from universal teachings. Even though it is mainly aimed at youngsters, there is no age limit. “The idea is that they can open up conversations and bring people closer together, be that siblings, grandparents, and grandchildren or friends,” she said.

This Diwali, 108 Puzzles will launch Ganesha World. Inclusive of 24 pieces, children will put together a beautiful illustration of Shiva, Parvati, and Ganesha in Kailash.
