SUMMARY:41st Symposium On Studies On Traditional Retellings Of Mahabharata
DESCRIPTION:As part of its series of symposiums on the living traditions and retellings of the most popular itihasa purana texts Ramayana\, Mahabharata and Bhagavata\, INDICA is organizing an online symposium on Studies on Traditional Retellings of Mahabharata on Saturday\, the 26th July\, 2025. Expert speakers are going to speak on Sanskrit\, Kannada\, Telugu Odia\, Marathi\, Tamil\, Prakrit and Bhil tribal retellings of this key itihasa of the Hindus. Accomplished Sankrit Vedic and Shastric scholars are going to bring out the hitherto unknown nuances of Bhasa’s Mahabharata plays Karnabharam and Urubhangam. A highly accomplished young prodigal shaastra scholar and Sanskrit Telugu sataavadhani is going to talk about the classical Telugu Mahabharata and its adherence to Vyasa’s original version. Two highly learned women scholars are going to speak on the depiction of Draupadi in a classical Kannada retelling and a modern time Tamil retelling. Interesting issues such as Bhil tribal understanding of Parikshit and Traditionality in the ancient Jain retellings of the itihasa are being focused by dynamic scholarly youngsters. Interesting aspects like Advaita in a folk element in a classical Odia Mahabharat\, Bhagavadgita’s poetic retelling as part of Bharat’s freedom struggle are also covered by expert scholars. A Learned scholar from Argentina is focusing on Spanish retellings of Mahabharata. A young rigorous genius will talk about a traditional critique by a saint on antitraditional Marathi retellings of the key national epic of the Hindus. \nSCHEDULE \n\n\n\n\nTime Slot\nScholar\nTitle\n\n\n9:00-9:45\nDr. Nagaraj Paturi\nKulapati | Vice Chancellor\, INDICA\nOverview Of The Symposium\n\n\n9:45-10:30\nDr. Sushumna Kannan\n Independent Scholar\nDraupadi-Vastrapaharana In The Kannada Mahabharata\n\n\n10:30-11:15\nDr. R.
