Indian mythology is not just a collection of stories but a cultural heritage that embodies the collective wisdom of generations. The vision of world peace and harmony is deeply ingrained in Indian mythology. Its tales often revolve around the triumph of ‘Dharma’ over ‘Adharma’ and the restoration of balance and order.The re-interpretation of ancient texts through the lens of modern sensibilities serves as a bridge between the past and the present. This article delves into the mythological works of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and Kavita Kane and throws light on their way of representing of these mythological figures. For this study, I have chosen Divakaruni’s The Palace of Illusions, The Forest of Enchantments and Kane’s Karna’s Wife: The Outcast’s Queen and Sita’s Sister. This paper focuses on the lives of these mythical women as Draupadi, Sita, Uruvi and Urmila.
