Mythic Resonance and Archetypal Echoes in Amish Tripathi’s Shiva Trilogy

Abstract

Amish Tripathi’s Shiva Trilogy presents an intricate interplay of mythology and archetypal patterns that echo deeply within the cultural and psychological frameworks of readers. This paper explores the mythic resonance and archetypal echoes in The Immortals of Meluha, The Secret of the Nagas, and The Oath of the Vayuputras, highlighting how Tripathi modernizes ancient myths while preserving their symbolic depth. Through an archetypal lens, this study examines the hero’s journey, the presence of Jungian archetypes, and the reinterpretation of Hindu mythology in a contemporary context.
