In "Amma, Take Me to the Golden Temple", published by Puffin India, she tells about the holy shrine of the Sikhs in Amritsar.
"Written as a travelogue of sorts, the series touches upon our major religions, their history and their mythology through the conversations of a mother and her two children as they visit India's important places of worship," she says.
A lot of research went into the writing.
"I realised how little I knew about the history of this wonderful monument (Golden Temple) and how limited my knowledge was about the Sikh history and the beauty of the teachings central to it. There is a plethora of books on Sikh history and the Golden Temple and I referred to some of them," she says.

Telling about the motivation for writing the "Amma, Tell Me", she says, "It was December 2010 and Holi was round the corner. I was looking for a good book to explain the festival to my older son who was two years old then."
But she found that there were "no resources that were simple to understand and that captured the rich imagery of mythological India that is such an integral part of these stories for me".
"I set up my own publishing company and called it 'Anjana Publishing' (Anjana being the mother of my favourite God, the monkey God Hanuman)," she says.
Penguin came up with the idea for the "Amma, Take Me" series.
"The series is designed and written for older children and is therefore a natural evolution for me not only as a writer, but also as a mother who has been dealing with questions about different religions and their places of worship as they have become part of my children's school curriculum," she says.
