The discourse surrounding mythology has been categorized as male-centered, highlighting a prevalent trend where mythological narratives often celebrate and glorify masculine strength. In contrast, women are frequently depicted as passive figures, relegated to roles as victims or silent observers, with little acknowledgment of feminine power or inherent female qualities. This unfavorable representation of women in literature has raised concerns among feminist writers. Consequently, they undertake the task of reinterpreting patriarchal myths, seeking to reshape the literary canon and present women from a distinctly female perspective. This paper delves into the reimagining of Hindu mythology by the postmodern writer Irawati Karve, considering it a crucial space for the construction of ideological subjects. Modern retellings challenge the ideological boundaries of the phallogocentric male canon, creating an alternative feminine discourse by situating women within an imagined female community and historical context. The analysis sheds light on how patriarchy utilizes mythical narratives to legitimize its dominion over women, further suggesting that these narratives contribute to the conflation of diverse female identities. The primary objective of this study is to explore how feminist authors employ mythology to gain insights into the power and resilience of the varied array of mortal and immortal female characters found in folktales, legends, and mythology, as portrayed through their reinterpretations.
