RJ Pattnaik’s Myth = Mythia is a fascinating dive into the world of ancient myths and contemporary intrigue. This book skillfully bridges the gap between historical secrets and modern-day adventure, making it an absolute page-turner for anyone interested in mythology, thrillers, or both.The story follows an ordinary protagonist thrown into extraordinary circumstances, tasked with decoding ancient clues that connect myths to reality. Pattnaik does a remarkable job of weaving historical research with fictional flair, giving readers a sense of realism that makes the mysteries even more compelling. Each chapter builds on layers of suspense, keeping you guessing until the end.One of the things I loved most about this book is how it balances action with intellectual puzzles. Pattnaik manages to keep the pace fast without sacrificing the depth of the narrative, which is quite a feat. The descriptions are vivid and transport you to various historical sites and mythological realms, and the character development is nuanced enough to make you genuinely care about the outcome.If you’re a fan of The Da Vinci Code or The Immortals of Meluha, this book will be right up your alley. Highly recommend for anyone looking to escape into a world where myths meet reality, and every clue reveals a piece of ancient truth.

I’m still reading it but I can say this is a very interesting book about Hindu mythology. The author gives an insight of this incredible “world” and of all the gods/Gods/goddesses part of it.

A beautifully written book with the most comprehensive account of indian mythological figures and stories that I have read so far. The author lays down the facts and the stories very objectively without adding his personal religious beliefs or biases.The first half of the book deals with the stories regarding creation and Brahma, Vishnu, Devas and Asuras. The second half explores with myths associated with Shiva, Parvati and Shakti. He gives the right amount of details regarding the symbolism of the myth, the weaponry and attributes of the characters concerned. References are given with each myth/ story.It is a very interesting read and I could not put the book down till I had read it through completely.

Das Buch gibt einen sehr guten Ueberblick ueber die hinduistischen Mythen und Gottheiten und ist zudem noch interessant geschrieben. Fuer Neulinge und alte Hasen absolut empfehlenswert!

As promised, this book truly satisfied my overthinking about gods and their concepts. If you're a fan of our culture or fascinated by the concept of gods and their stories, this book will definitely help satisfy your curiosity. The book is written in such an intriguing way that I couldn't put it down and kept reading it continuously. However, as with anything, there are parts that might make you feel offended (I did in a few places), so keep that in mind while reading. Other than that, it's a great read—do check it out.
