Mythologizing, demytholigizing, apotheosis, origin world, world-building

Amish Tripathi’s Shiva trilogy (2010-’13) remains the fastest-selling book series in Indian publishing history over a decade later, having cultivated scores of mythology aficionados spanning generations. Its influence reverberates in the current fictional engagement with mythology, an abundance of which has spawned since Tripathi’s publication. The novels, following the arc of Shiva written into fiction, become a site of demythologizing and remythologizing of the canonical mythological figure. The review examines Amish’s attempts at condensing the larger-than-life portrait of the divine into a life-sized character fleshed out with flaws, as someone who is shown struggling with imposter syndrome, the ill-fitting symbol of destruction testing out his fate in the prime of the Indus Valley Civilization. It locates the exercise of Shiva’s apotheosis in the first book, The Immortals of Meluha, understanding how he navigates his stature as the prophesied Neelkantha.
