Indian mythology

Indian mythology encompasses the vast body of traditional narratives from the Indian subcontinent—Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and folk traditions.

The major Sanskrit epics, the Mahabharata and Ramayana, along with the Puranas, contain stories of gods like Vishnu, Shiva, and Brahma, as well as heroes, demons, and cosmic cycles.

These narratives remain living traditions, shaping contemporary religious practice, art, and popular culture: The film drew heavily on Indian mythology.
