* TheModernGods: Santoshi Mata (or Santoshi Maa) first began being worshipped in the 1960s, and rose to prominence in 1975 after the film ''Jai Santoshi Maa'' (EN: ''Victory to Santoshi Maa'') made her a household name. Unlike other gods of the Hindu faith like Ganesha or Vishnu, she has no scriptural precedent, and appears to have been created whole cloth by a cult in Northern India, before ascending to become part of the Pan-Indian Hindu Pantheon.

Hinduism developed over millenia, and includes concepts and stories from many eras and cultures. The oldest stories and deities come from the numerous tribal communities who first settled the subcontinent. Most of these were transmitted only by word of mouth, but carved inscriptions have been found in the ruins of the Indus Valey civilisation, in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhimbetka_rock_shelters Bhimbetka]] in Central India, and in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupgal_petroglyphs Kupgal]] in Southern India.

* HeavenlyConcentricCircles: The cosmos is an "egg" made of concentric, spherical realms called lokas enveloped by the Shell of Brahmanda. Mount Merus connects the earthly realm with five, upper, divine lokas of the aforementioned Brahmanda. From lowest to uppermost, they are traditionally arranged as follows: Svarloka (or Svarga), Maharloka, Janarloka, Tapoloka, and Brahmaloka (or Satyaloka). Svarga is where the righteous souls go after death as well as the home of the Deva deities. It's ruled by Deva monarchs Indrani and Indra. It contains the nectar of immortality. Satyaloka is where the TopGod Brahma resides.

As a note: Mythology can be a misnomer, as 'mythology' implies fictional stories, but many Hindus believe that the literature is more historical. It's similar to how many of the stories in the Bible are considered historical by Christians as well- (i.e. Jonah and the Whale, Noah's Ark). But then again the line between a mythology and a religion has never been clear-cut or widely agreed-upon to begin with.

** ''Krishna''. Whether it comes to war, statesmanship, love, philosophy, or religion, Krishna is peerless. Yes, he is an avatar of one of the Hindu pantheon's most active gods, but even among the avatars, he is pretty awesome. ''Rama'' from the ''Ramayana'' fits the bill as well, being described as possessing all the attributes that man aspires to, but can never attain. Both are also {{All Loving Hero}}es with a HundredPercentAdorationRating to boot.
