Singhasan Battisi 1.0

About this app:

The title literally means "thirty-two (tales) of the throne". In the frame story, the 11th century king Bhoja discovers the throne of the legendary ancient king Vikramaditya (also known as Bikramjit). The throne has 32 statues, who are actually apsaras that had been turned into stone due to a curse. Each of the apsaras tells Bhoja a story about the life and adventures of Vikramaditya, in order to convince him that he is not deserving of Vikramaditya's throne.

The original collection, writ ten in Sanskrit, was known as Siá¹hÄsana DvÄtriá¹ÅikÄ. Other titles for the collection include DvÄtriá¹Åat PuttalikÄ ("Thirty-two Statue Stories"), VikrÄmaditya SimhÄsana DvÄtriá¹Åika ("Thirty-two Tales of the Throne of Vikramaditya"), and Vikrama Charita ("Deeds or Adventures of Vikrama").[1] In modern vernaculars, the collection is known as Singhastan Battisi; other transliterations of the title include Sinhasan Battisi and Simhasan Battisi....
