Livish,Shubhra Tiwari 02 11 Devdutt Pattanaik is an internationally acclaimed Indian mythologist and author known for his creative reimagining of Hindu mythology from a modern perspective and for successfully weaving ageold stories into contemporary social observations and critiques This research paper examines two of the most important works written by him the absorbing works The Pregnant King published in 2008 which explores gender fluidity and dharma and Sati Savitri published in 2024 a collection of myths curated by him from a feminist point of view to debunk deeprooted patriarchal traditions It examines closely the summaries thematic dissections and insightfully comparative discussions that reveal the manner in which Pattanaik engages in the discourses of gender questions of identity and agency in the infinite matrix of Indian mythology Apparently the work The Pregnant King upsets traditional notions of gender roles but actually it subsumes them offering a subtle critique of gender fluidity On the other hand Sati Savitri overtly upholds womens intrinsic agency as a dynamic cultural factor thereby fuelling important discussions about the position of women and their empowerment within mythological narratives Drawing from a wide array of scholarly critiques and reviews this analysis shall underline Pattanaiks progressive trajectory toward a more overt feminism emphasizing the crucial role mythology plays in shedding light on and engaging with contemporary discourses of gender Copyright (c) Journal of Science Engineering Technology and Management Science.
