Gods of a rich tradition
Hindu mythology is one of the oldest and richest in the world, and this puzzle gathers some of its best-known figures. You'll be finding the great trinity — BRAHMA the creator, VISHNU the protector and SHIVA the transformer — along with the much-loved GANESHA, the monkey hero HANUMAN, and the warrior goddess DURGA.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the legends, no two Hindu mythology word searches are the same. One round a backwards SARASWATI hides in a corner; the next a diagonal HANUMAN appears across the middle.
Heroes, goddesses and epic tales
The great epics are full of gods and heroes, and the words are here. There's the prince RAMA and his wife SITA, the playful KRISHNA, the goddesses LAKSHMI, PARVATI, SARASWATI and KALI, and the king of the gods INDRA. You'll also spot the elements as gods — AGNI (fire), VAYU (wind) and the river GANGA — the eagle GARUDA and the serpent NAGA, and important ideas like KARMA and the AVATAR (a god in earthly form).
It's a great fit for a mythology or world-cultures topic. Tracking down S-A-R-A-S-W-A-T-I turns spelling practice into an epic tale.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
