| Re: Hindu mythology, I've found that a lot of the pages (many of them created by ]) include information that is drawn from various ancient texts, and so may place undue emphasis on aspects of mythological figures that are unfamiliar to modern Hindus, but that may nevertheless be perfectly valid (I haven't read all the Puranas, so I can hardly verify).

I don't know how to resolve this discrepancy, but you should be aware of it. Graft
