Dr. Devdutt Pattanaik defines mythology as an essential human need, a subjective truth expressed through stories, symbols and rituals that binds a community by creating a unique worldview. Through the talk he works on monotheistic (religious), polytheistic (pagan) and atheistic (secular) mythologies, and draws attention to their role in determining approaches to economics, politics, society, art, culture, gender and sexuality.
