Abstract:
AbstractGod posters have become one of the most visible aspects of popular religious culture in South Asia. In this article I argue that the God poster industry has created opportunities for iconographic innovations, but that the God posters nevertheless build on traditional sacred narratives and conceptions of the Hindu gods found especially in the Hindu epics and the Purānas.. Even if the iconographic representation of the child manifestations of Śiva is something new, these God posters rely on the presence of the child manifestations of Śiva in the sacred narratives of the Hindu tradition.

Abstract:
Abstract Indian epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana have significantly shaped Indian society, influencing its values, norms, and cultural ethos for centuries. Attributed to Sage Vyasa and Sage Valmiki respectively, these epics blend myth, history, and philosophy, permeating Indian culture through art, literature, music, and theater. Central to their teachings is the concept of dharma, or righteousness, a cornerstone of Hindu philosophy. The Bhagavad Gita in the Mahabharata emphasizes duty and righteousness, while the Ramayana illustrates dharma through Lord Rama, the epitome of virtue. Cha

Abstract:
Indian culture is based on two epics; The Ramayana and The Mahabharata. Every Hindu knows about these two epics, other religion people too. There is not any Hindu house which does not know and follow the rituals which are discussed in these two epics. The present generation takes interest to read Retellings of Indian myths which are written by the contemporary Indian English Writers. Indian women like to read Retellings of myths which are written by Indian women writers. Its reason is that it gives voice to marginalized women of the Indian myths. Females compare their unspeakable voice with th

Abstract:
In the 21st century, with artificial intelligence dominating the world scenario, why should preserving ancient Hindu texts take a back seat? Ancient Hindu texts consisting of the Vedas, Epics, Puranas, Sangam Literature, and folk narratives in various languages were written on fragile palm leaves, birch barks, and old manuscripts that have deteriorated over time. Cloud technology has paved the way for creating digital libraries that can be accessed with a button.

Abstract:
Intercultural communication is the communication among different cultures, different communities with different lifestyles and worldviews, which is a dispensable and unavoidable trend. The Ramayana is one of the largest ancient epics in world literature and has had an important influence on later Sanskrit poetry and Hindu life and culture because it presents the teachings of ancient Hindu sages in narrative allegory, interspersing philosophical and ethical elements. The characters Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Hanuman and Ravana are all fundamental to the cultural consciousness of India, Nep

In the two famous Indian epics the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, there are five admirable women - Ahalya, Draupadi, Kunti, Tara and Mandodari. These are five special women with remarkable power, wisdom, dedication, and sacrifice which are honoured across periods of the Indian civilisation. Similarly, in Greek mythology also, there are important powerful women characters having exceptional capacity and power. They are Helen, Hecuba, Medea and Thetis. They have not only portrayed their sexuality and motherhood but also demonstrated their power, virtues, kindness, grace and capacity to withstand

Abstract:
The thesis investigates the cultural interventions of Hindu nationalist, C. Rajagopalachari (CR), by offering a close reading of his re-tellings of the Hindu epics, The Mahabharata (1951) and The Ramayana (1956). It positions them alongside the writings of M. K. Gandhi and the key responses to Katherine Mayo’s controversial text Mother India (1927). The thesis explores the central female protagonists of the epics – Sita and Draupadi – asking how these poetic representations illuminate the ways in which femininity was imagined by an influential Hindu ideologue during the early years of Indian I

An ideological state project of assigning science achievements to that of Hindu mythologies is indirectly undermining democratic structures. Emergence of the fake news phenomenon within the current post-truth era has threatened India's state harmony. From its dominant role in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections to the 2016 U.S. presidential elections, fake news has become a political tool which was misused in both events. One of the major concerns with fake content creation appeared in its use by the central government to disregard science. Political leaders are achieving this by propagating fictiona

Abstract Early on in the Mahabharata, the great Hindu epic and arguably the greatest of all epics, the monk Utanka announces that “whatever is found in this story may be found somewhere else; but nothing found anywhere else will not be found in this story.’’ It is an astonishing claim-”I am the book of books”-and an unprecedented one. A book, for once, not only admits that it is a book, but announces itself to be the book of books, the compendium and summary of all the stories of mankind. Where else do we find such arrogance?

A paucity of references to her in standard historical sources before the nineteenth century makes the search for a singular historical Mirabai impossible. Instea

Abstract The pages of this book glitter with the images of jewelry. Yet its chapters are not concerned only with the colorful worlds of Indian myth, epic, and poetry. They are also the ritual manuals of the ancient Indian sacrifice, the legal texts of the Dharma Sastras, the Tamil commentaries of medieval Vaisnavas, and the Hindi manuals of contemporary organizations of Hindu nationalists. Why does jewelry bring together such disparate topics? If there is any one thing that symbolizes the relationship between women and the brahminical textual tradition of India, it is their jewelry.

This literary masterpiece is not merely a story but an integral part of Hindu holy literature.

One such location is Sitamarhi, where Goddess Sita emerged from the shattered remains of a vessel during King Janak's ploughing ceremony.
