Her subsequent novels, Adi Parva and Sauptik, constitute a two-part retelling of episodes from the Mahabharata narrated from the perspective of two peripheral characters. Based on the life of the eponymous lesbian protagonist, Kari resulted from Patil’s desire to see more LGBTQ+ characters in Indian literature. Patil has published four graphic novels - Kari (2008), Adi Parva: Churning of the Ocean (2012), Sauptik: Blood and Flowers (2016) and Aranyaka: The Book of Forests (2019). She briefly worked as a copywriter at an advertising firm before beginning work on her first graphic novel. Patil completed her BFA from the Goa College of Art (1999) and went on to receive an MFA from Tufts University, Boston (2004). Her works touch upon subjects such as feminism, sexuality mythology and ecology through a visual style that uses a combination of acrylics, watercolours, charcoal drawings and collages.
