Event Description : Epic The Channel- That Celebrates Indian Heritage presents "Food Mythology" by Amit Govind, Founder, Katha Project

An experimental project in the area of comparative mythology and ancient history. In ancient mythology, food production is seen as occurring through divine intervention. Ninkasi, the Mesopotamian Goddess of beer, helped the dough rise. She is the one who inspired bakers to add sesame seeds and herbs to bread. In ancient Greek mythology, Dionysus, the God of grape harvest and wine making, gave nourishment and strength to his patrons. In Indian mythology, a Hindu who sincerely worships is rewarded with rice by Annapurna, the Goddess of food. Anna meaning food and purna, complete. Food rituals are central to many religions and therefore, the Gods. The talk aims to unravel this association between humans and Gods which paved the way for food production and the food that we eat.
