Myth = Mithya

Myth = Mithya: Decoding Hindu Mythology is a concise guide to the stories, symbols, and rituals of Hindu mythology, framed as an exploration of the distinction between myth as a cultural truth and mithyā as a truth that is context-dependent or illusory. Devdutt Pattanaik unpacks how these narratives function as vehicles for deeper philosophical meaning rather than literal history.
