Characters
Kumbh is a plump cherubic 10-year-old boy named after the mythic giant Kumbhakarana, who slept for six months and could be revived only by food aromas. His twin brother Karan shares Kumbh's eyes and big ears but is otherwise different. Tara, age 7, is their best friend in Ajab-Gajabpur. Kaddu is Kumbh's pet porcupine, as food-loving as his master. Sardar is the reluctant chief of the colony, while Kabira trains the boys in archery and warfare. Dadi Maa is their motherly caretaker, and Super Chacha invents interesting things.
