She has a lot of knowledge about Indian Mythology and I'm happy she chooses to share that here too. She writes her stories on her website under the section Oh My! These Indian Gods! and I read out the stories on here and translate them on my site and read out the French translations too.Latha's site in English https://www.lathawarrier.com/articles-and-stories/oh-my-these-indian-godsMy stories in French https://lekhawrites.blogspot.com/2025/09/oh-la-la-ces-dieux-indiens-lhistoire.html#indiangods #indianmythology #learningmoralsthroughstories
