Despite the rigid nature of mythological works, they have undergone numerous interpretations within different cultural contexts. Ramayana itself has been recounted in around 300 versions.  \nWhile we have witnessed various tales and interpretations of the epic Ramayana, Devdutt Pattanaik's book stands out as it not only retells the story but also draws attention to the multitude of oral, visual, and written retellings composed by different poets in different times and places. Each poet has attempted to unravel the puzzle of the epic uniquely. Present-day authors have also endeavored to transform traditional mythology to address contemporary issues. Although the retellings may differ in appearance, the essence of the story remains unchanged. As long as faith and culture persist in society, there will continue to be a constant surge in mythological content.  \nThe researcher has undertaken a qualitative approach to study the various factors contributing to the ongoing demand for mythological tales in the present generation. These factors include social, political, cultural, and commercial aspects. Furthermore, the researcher has analyzed the content variations within the tales of Ramayana, with a particular focus on Devdutt Pattanaik's book, \"Sita,\" which represents a modern-day exploration and revival of mythology and ‘Gita’ which focuses on the teachings of ‘Gita’ in a modern context.  \nKEYWORDS  \nMyth, Mythology, Contemporary Literature, Retellings, Postmodern  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIn today's world, stories play a significant role in our daily lives, serving as a vital means of communication across various mediums in our society. Stories have existed since long before recorded history, and their forms have evolved significantly over time. From ancient cave paintings to modern novels and movies, stories have captivated humanity. Despite the changing methods, the innate desire to tell and listen to stories remains unchanged, profoundly shaping our perspectives on life.  \n\n| IJCRT23A5132 | International Journal of Creative Research Thoughts (IJCRT) [www.ijcrt.org](www.ijcrt.org) | j334 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\nAccording to historical records, the earliest known form of storytelling dates back to the Lascaux Caves in the Pyrenees Mountains of southern France. Around 700 B.C., the epic of Gilgamesh, the first printed story, was created and disseminated across Europe and Asia. The story was carved onto stone pillars, facilitating its rapid spread. In 200 B.C., Aesop's fables were written down as a tribute to Aesop, a Greek philosopher who lived around 500 B.C. In earlier times, many books relied on reliable sources such as eyewitness accounts, oral traditions within families and communities, and accounts from travelers.  \nWith the advent of the electronic age, storytelling transitioned to mediums like cinema, radio, and television. Families could now enjoy stories at their leisure within the comfort of their homes. However, the digital revolution took storytelling to new heights. The rise of internet-based communication platforms, including emails, Google, Yahoo, and various social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Twitter, enabled individuals to share their written content online through the World Wide Web.  \nMyth and Mythology  \nThe use of mythology in storytelling has captivated and inspired people around the world. Whether presented as an epic or a collection of tales known as puranas, myths have fascinated both writers and readers throughout generations.
