Question

Describe the use of Roman/Greece myths with the Indian myths in the poem ‘the Lotus’
‘कमल’ नामक कविता में कवि ने रोम/ग्रीस के मिथक का भारतीय मिथक के साथ किस प्रकार से प्रयोग किया है? व्याख्या करें।

Answer 1

Answer:

Toru Dutt and her parents had embraced Christianity. But she had a deep attraction for the Indian mythology. No doubt, she shows a good knowledge of the classical mythology. The Roman Greek god of love, Cupid, asks Flora, the goddess of flowers to create a unique flower that must deserve to be called the queen of flowers. Flora created the lotus. Symbolically, the victory of the lotus is the victory of Indian culture over the western myths and culture. After all, the lotus is the seat of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi.
