Description
Fractal Maṇḍala is a fresh exploration of Indian civilization through its own stories and traditions. It follows India’s journey from the deep past of the Holocene to the early Iron Age. Using the Purāṇas, Vedas, Itihāsas, and ancient genealogies, the book shows that what is often called ‘myth’ today was, for ancient Indians, a way of preserving history—a civilizational memory encoded in stories, songs, and symbols.
