Welcome to Uma Mythos, a quiet space for ancient Indian stories. Here, the great tales of our tradition are retold in illustrated form — meant to be read slowly, shared freely, and carried forward.
These stories are meant to be read slowly, shared with children, and passed along to anyone who might find them meaningful.
The Birth of Ganesha
The beloved tale of how Parvati created Ganesha, and how he came to bear the head of an elephant. A story of devotion, transformation, and a mother's love.

About Uma Mythos
Uma Mythos is a storytelling house, not a person. It exists to keep ancient Indian stories alive in a form that can be read, shared, and remembered.
The illustrations are created in the tradition of the classic Indian comic format, honouring the visual language that has made these stories accessible for generations.
There is no marketing here, no urgency, no algorithm. Only stories, offered freely, for those who wish to read them.
