Abstract This paper explores the portrayal of Sati, a significant figure in Indian
mythology, as reimagined in Amish Tripathi’s Shiva Trilogy and the television series Devon Ke Dev... Mahadev. Through a comparative study, the research examines how the mediums of literature and television reinterpret her character to resonate with contemporary audiences.The analysis delves into the narrative arcs, thematic emphasis, and cultural symbolism associated with Sati in these adaptations, highlighting her evolution from a traditional mythological figure to a modern feminist icon.By focusing on the mediums’ distinct approaches to storytelling, this study investigates how literature and visual media shape audience perceptions and cultural impact. The Shiva Trilogy presents Sati as a warrior and equal partner to Shiva, embodying strength and individuality,
while Devon Ke Dev... Mahadev emphasizes her divine grace and spiritual essence. The research further explores the societal implications of these portrayals, particularly their influence on gender discourse and the reclamation of mythological figures as symbols of empowerment. This study aims to contribute to the growing field of mythology in popular culture, offering insights into the dynamic interplay between medium, mythology, and audience engagement.
Keywords Sati, Shiva Trilogy, Amish Tripathi, Devon Ke Dev... Mahadev, Television Series, Mythology Retelling, Modern representation.
