## What is Sutradhar?

Sutradhar - Your destination for daily new videos about Indian Mythology and history.
You can watch a new story everyday and share them with your friends and family on Whatsapp on Sutradhar. 700+ videos online already with new videos getting added every day.

Sutradhar means narrator. India has always had the tradition of narrating and listening to stories. Knowledge of every kind has been collated in the form of these beautiful stories so that it is easy to remember and understand. We are attempting to translate this generations old tradition of Shruti and Smriti for our smartphone generation.

Considering India’s rich cultural heritage, we plan to bring stories from all parts of India and present to them in your local language. On Sutradhar we are already offering videos based on ancient epics Ramayan and Mahabharat and from various Purans (Vishnu Puran, Shiva Puran, Padma Puran, Bhagwat Puran, Harivansh Puran, Skand Puran, Garuda Puran etc.) and Upanishads in Hindi, English, Odia and Marathi languages.

Listening to these stories not only satisfies your devotional needs, it also brightens your day by enlightening your mood. These are beautiful stories with hidden learnings and suitable for people of all age groups.

Not only this, we also publish videos for your devotional needs like Vrat Katha (Ekadashi Vrat Katha, Pradosh Vrat Katha, Solah Somvar, Vaibhav Lakshmi, Sankashti etc) and historical and mythological stories about our festivals (Diwali, Bhai Duj, Raksha Bandhan, Karva Chauth, Chhath, Gangaur, Dussehra, Gudi Padva, Akshaya Tritiya, Holi, Basant Panchami etc.). You can watch these stories in the form of Short Videos in our app.

Our short videos are easy to watch and can easily be downloaded and shared on Whatsapp. Instead of sharing images in good morning messages to your friends and family WhatsApp groups, who can easily share these videos full of learning and knowledge everyday.

We release one new video everyday at the beginning of the day which tells Pauranik Kahaniyan in less than one minute which are easy to watch and easy to share. The stories are of the nature that they are likely to elevate your rest of the day.

We are doing extensive research on each of these stories and try to bring the most entertaining version for your enjoyment. You may be familiar with some of these stories, while most of the stories we bring to you are not the most popular ones, still are entertaining and full of divine knowledge. Stories like Pururava-Urvashi from Rigved, Nala-Damayanti from Mahabharata, Indra-Virochana from Chandogya Upnishad, Yam-Nachiketa Conversation from Kathopnishad etc. You may have heard some bits about them but may not know the entire story or you may not even have heard about them at all.

Then there are stories about day today things which we experience everyday but do not know the story behind them, for example, all of us call earth Prithvi, but do you know the story of King Prithu; after whom earth got this name. Why do eagles eat snakes? Stories about lesser-known characters of Ramayana and Mahabharata like Vali-Sugriva, Nala-Nila, Jatayu-Sampati, Satyaki, Kritavarma, Bhurishrava etc.

We are sure this app will enhance your knowledge of ancient Indian culture and will make you appreciate our heritage even better. Every Indian should download this app and watch these stories. We do not even need too much time commitment, just 2-3 minutes every day.
