Myth reimagined: Storytelling traditions and modern retellings in Amish Tripathi’s Shiva trilogy

Author(s):

G Gopi and KS Dhanam

Abstract:

The Shiva Trilogy by Amish Tripathi reimagines Hindu mythology through a modern lens, merging ancient storytelling traditions with contemporary literary techniques. This paper explores the narrative strategies Tripathi employs, including historical rationalization, philosophical reinterpretation, and cinematic pacing. The study argues that Tripathi’s retelling not only popularizes Indian mythology for modern readers but also reflects the evolving relationship between tradition and innovation in contemporary Indian literature. By analyzing the intersection of myth, history, and modern storytelling devices, the paper underscores how Tripathi constructs a narrative that resonates with contemporary sensibilities while retaining the mythic essence.
