A chronological order of names of Hindu mythology. In part one, you can read the names from the characters A to G and in the second part, from the characters H to K and part third are the names of characters from L to O . The motive of this series to present the A to Z in a different way.
Parshuram: was the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He was also know as Braham- Shatriya because he has both the qualities of Brahmin and Shatriya. He was well know for his anger and the ill effects of his anger. Axe was the main weapon as he got it from Lord Shiva.
Panchali : was a character of the Mahabharata. She was the queen of Pandavas and her real name is Draupadi. Arjun was entered in the swayambar of Draupadi where in Kind Drupad put a condition for the Draupadi's marriage. The princes of the kingdoms have to hit the fish eye by looking at the reflection of fish in the water.
There is no name starting from Q in Hindu Mythology.
Ravan: The ten headed king of demons was the one of the main character in Ramayana. He trickily abducted Sita ji and took her to his Lanka and did not want to send back her. Due to this reason, Lord Rama attacked on him and eventually killed him by hurting him on his naval.
Rama : Lord Rama was the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He was the main character of the Ramayana. His real name was Ramchandra. He had happy accepted 14 years of exile which was wished his mother Kekayi.
Shurpankha: She is one of the most unliked characters from Ramayana. She was the sister of King Ravana. She was attracted with the looks of Lord Ram and wanted him as her husband but when Sitaji objected, she attacked her due to this Laxaman cut her nose.
Shakuni : Shakuni was the brother of Gandhari (wife of Blind king Dhritarashtra). He was the most negative character of Mahabharata or in other words the master mind of the great war of Kurukshetra i.e. Mahabharata.
In the next post, I will come up with new characters of Hindu Mythology.

This time all the characters were familiar... yayyyyyy!!! Hmmmm... Q... even I can't think of any name
ReplyDeleteReally enjoying your series. I was waiting for Q. But I think since we have a similar sounding K in Hindi, there isn't a character with Q.
ReplyDeleteLove your series, and wait to see how many of the names I remember.
ReplyDeleteMayuri/Sirimiri
This follow up was good and again looking for the next
ReplyDeleteNormally Q would be replaced by क्व in Hindi. Maybe that can help, though at the moment nothing comes to my mind.
ReplyDeleteNice read.
ReplyDeleteThis time I am familiar with most of the characters in this series. Q is a mystery for all. Waiting for the next installment.
ReplyDeleteAs always this series remains super informative yet fun! Kudos!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant series, Bhawna. Perfect score this time too. I did have a feeling we wouldn't have any with Q.
ReplyDeleteI suppose i have to note all these characters so that I can recall and remember their traits. Good informative idea of A-Z
ReplyDeleteWhat an irony, Rama and Ravana both starts which letter R. Love reading this.
ReplyDeleteI can think of Shikhandi with S too. Another amazing list of names!
ReplyDeleteWow..i knew all of these names. But it is always good to remind oneself of our mythological histor. Thank you for this nostalgia and lessons.
ReplyDeleteI've been following this series closely and I love each installment. Super curious about the one that will cover all the difficult letters from the end of our alphabet :)

ReplyDeleteYeah even I was thinking of thinking of these names.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your posts hoping id learn more this week. Thanks again for sharing
ReplyDeleteSindhu
I actually thought back and realized that there are no names starting with Q! We interesting....maybe because Sanskrit & Devanagari doesn't has a Q but only a 'Ka' I think. Will be interesting to read more about this.
