Katha (Story)
Katha, meaning "story" in Sanskrit, is a traditional narrative form found in various cultures, particularly in India. It often conveys moral lessons, cultural values, or spiritual teachings. Katha can be presented through oral storytelling, written texts, or performances, making it a versatile medium for sharing knowledge and entertainment.
In Hinduism, Katha plays a significant role in religious practices, with stories from sacred texts like the Mahabharata and Ramayana being recited or enacted. These narratives not only entertain but also inspire reflection and understanding of complex themes such as duty, righteousness, and devotion.
