Mohanty, after critically analysing the Lakshmibrata kathas of various states Mohanty wrote, Taking the Lakshmibrata kathas as tools to investigate the various locations of gendered culture in India, the book connects between the past and the present and makes a bold statement about the degree of women empowerment in India. His book, Lakshmi, the Rebel: Culture, Economy and Women’s Agency published by Har-Ananad, Delhi, 2019, is an attempt to study caste, culture, and gender, through myths.
But, the literary sources coming out in various Indian languages prove that the Lakshmibrata kathas originated mostly in the rice-producing states such as, West Bengal (WB), Bihar, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh (AP), Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh (UP).īidyut Mohanty took nearly 20 years to prove this research hypothesis. Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, is now being worshipped all over India.
Lakshmibrata kathas are stories that are recited while worshipping Lakshmi, the Goddess.
