spirituality, Caste prejudices, and Mythical techniques. At
first narrator introduces the village where we can see the
symbol of religion or Myth.
It shares certain narrative techniques with Puranas. The
story is told rapidly, all in one breath, by a village
grandmother and the style reflects the oral heritage also

Gandhi's struggle for Independence from the Britisher,
who came to a typical village. Rao himself states that it
is impossible to separate reality from orthodox Advaita
Vedanta. It sketches the step by step social development
of a South Indian Village Kanthapura. The Goddessvillagers have great faith, named Kenchamma. It shows
that sometimes people blindly followed and believe in
the Myth. In the Village we see the one temple and this
temple is most important for villagers. In this temple"Harikathas" narrated by Jayaramachar and many Kathas
based on Gandhian Ideas. So we can see that, The theme
of Kanthapura is the continuity of Indian traditions in the
novel. In kanthapura - it shows strains of myth, Gods and
Goddess.

In this novel , it is a beautiful small village of people

who still belongs to the old world of superstition. Here
the structure of the village where people follow religion
and myth. Raja Rao use Indian sensibility, tradition myth,
mysticism, religion, techniques in the novel. Raja Rao
uses mythical character, situation etc. Raja Rao writes
that.
Those things represent the theme of Myth in Kanthapura.
When "Harikathas" told by Jayaramachar. He compares
Gandhi to Lord Shiva when he says Siva is the three eyed, Swaraj is three eye. Mohan being one of the names
of Krishna as Gandhi's full name , Mohandas
Karamchand , gives Jayaramachar- the idea of
achievement. Just as the God as a young boy slays the
serpent Kali. Same we compares that Gabdhi goes from
village to village slaying the serpent of foreign rule.
Again just as Krishna teaches Arjuna the wisdom of how
to be a true man of action. Same Gandhi teaches Moorthy
how to be a true Satyagrahi. All things shows that Raja
Rao is beautifully represents Myth in this novel.
So, Myth-is properly used by Raja Rao in this novel.
Similar people, Village as a object, Concepts of Myth,
patterned etc.. all those things are using in appropriate
way. Very beautifully Jayaramachar describes myth and
the glory of Bharata.. Whole things creates uniqueness in

understand

"Independence", and "Concept of change" and
all."Kanthapura"- this novel is the recreation of Myth.
