Abstract
The research delves into exploring Indian mythology through gender and multicultural perspectives, employing a multidisciplinary approach to analyse contemporary retellings of myths. It evaluates how these retellings reinterpret traditional narratives, characters, and themes from diverse cultural and gender viewpoints. Data collection involves secondary analysis of literary works and primary data through interviews, using a purposive sampling method. The study aims to uncover sociocultural, psychological, and ideological implications within these retellings. By examining diverse perspectives, the research argues that such reimaginations enrich cultural heritage and foster a more inclusive society. This exploration serves as a springboard for further discussions on storytelling’s significance in shaping societal norms. In conclusion, analysing retellings of Indian mythology through gender and multicultural lenses challenges traditional narratives, fostering inclusivity, and shaping a progressive understanding of our shared cultural heritage.
