Ithihasas
Interactive explorer of characters and relationships in Hindu epics
Visit ithihasas.in ↗What is Ithihasas?
Ithihasas is an interactive tool for navigating the Rāmāyaṇa and Mahābhārata. Instead of reading linearly, users explore key figures like Rama, Krishna, Karna, and Bhishma through force graphs, dynasty trees, and chord diagrams that visualize connections and hierarchies. The site consolidates scattered information about characters, dynasties, and relationships in one place.
Designed for anyone seeking to understand Hindu epic literature more deeply, Ithihasas presents ancient texts through a modern interactive lens. The maker built the initial version using Claude CLI, completing it in a few hours, though refinement of the user experience and data consistency required additional manual effort.
