About the Book
Purani (Bengali Version) is a lucid and engaging exploration of the Puranic tradition of India, written by one of the most respected scholars of mythology and classical texts. Nrisingha Prasad Bhaduri brings the vast, complex world of the Puranas closer to modern readers—without academic heaviness, yet with deep scholarship and clarity.
Rather than treating the Puranas as rigid religious texts, the book presents them as living narratives—stories shaped by time, society, politics, belief, and imagination. Myths, gods, demons, genealogies, rituals, and moral dilemmas are discussed with context, interpretation, and insight, revealing how the Puranas influenced Indian culture, values, and collective memory.
Written in accessible and thoughtful Bengali prose, Purani helps readers understand why these stories were told, how they evolved, and what they continue to mean today. It is ideal for readers interested in mythology, Indian philosophy, cultural history, and anyone seeking a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the Puranic world beyond blind faith or literal reading.
A valuable addition to Bengali non-fiction literature, this hardcover edition is perfect for serious readers, students, and lovers of mythological studies.
