Abstract

Since the early twenty first century, the stories of the gods have found new forms in the mass media. The media boom of recent years brought forth a new wave of animated mythological shows and movies. It has allowed the portrayal of mythical gods to come out from their traditional image and to depict them according to the modern taste. The media have become the real story tellers of our time and the definers and interpreters of reality for modern people. Television as a medium has captivated the very nerves and senses of the people by using the sensational narratives and the special effects. From the original Ramayana to the latest Devon Ke Dev Mahadev, religious mythologies continue to be a staple feature on Indian television.
