To read
The parts of Udaya that are prose rather than a calculator: 286 festivals, 484 temples, 47 gods, 36 arts and the 21 works the stories come from.
- Festivals What each festival means and when its puja hour falls
- Temples Parihaaram temples near you
- Mantras Slokas and stotras with meaning, read aloud
- The gods Who they are and the stories told about them
- The arts Bharatanatyam, Carnatic, the crafts and how they are learnt
- The stories The Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the books they come from
How these work
Nothing here needs a birth time or an account. Where a tradition tells a story differently — and the gods, the festivals and the epics are told differently almost everywhere — the page gives the versions side by side and names whose each one is, rather than choosing a canonical telling and quietly dropping the rest.
