Rooted in ancient civilisations and nurtured over millennia, Indian mythology weaves together an intricate tapestry of beliefs, traditions and cultural heritage.
Each of the stories from the mythology carry profound philosophical, ethical and spiritual teachings. They explore themes of righteousness, duty, devotion and the eternal struggle between good and evil.

Some of my favourite books based on Indian mythology are listed below.
1. Ramayana and Mahabharata by C Rajagopalachari
This is an old publication and I’ve inherited the original copies from my grandfather. One of my prized possessions. It’s a beautifully written book where each story is about a page and a half in length and each character has been introduced, related, connected and explained. For a novice, it is well laid out.
