Abstract

K. Narayan is a name in English Literature that does not need any introduction. He appears to be shinning like a glittering star in the galaxy of Indian fiction writers who wrote in English. His career as a writer spanned over 60 years. He received a number of awards and honors including the AC Benson Medal from the Royal Society of Literature and the Padma Vibhushan, India’s second highest civilian award. Narayan was also nominated to Rajya Sabha, the upper house of India’s Parliament. He is widely known for his simple and unpretentious writing style, often compared to William Faulkner. Most of his works show his deep interest in Hindu Religion and Myth. In this research article, a humble attempt has been made analyze the way how Narayan accepts the Hindu Religion and Myth in the lives of his protagonists. He does not alter or modernize the myths but through their symbolic representation shows their timeless relevance as the most immediate form of human experience.
