Myth has been researched and examined. Periodically, critics and philosophers have attempted to define myth within the frameworks of politics, society, and culture. This study is done to explore for the mythological interpretation of the novel Mrutyunjay and to study for historical, cultural, and religious elements in the literature. Also to recognize myth and its literary applications, and to identify the novels' authenticity to study the realism and fantasy of the novel. They reveal historical and social reality that has been altered by its psychological value when it is closely examined. These legendary novels exemplify the connection between the literature and history, which they metaphorically reflect, when interpreted as tales or mystical stories. They are the channel for the literature's deeper tensions and anxieties, which are exposed through Ideological Psyche.
