About the Book:
Madhyayujer Bangla Kabye Shib O Shibayan explores the rich tradition of Shiva narratives in Bengali literature, tracing stories that are both ancient and deeply rooted in local culture. The book examines how the character of Shiva reflects the agrarian, folkloric society of Bengal while simultaneously retaining influences from Sanskrit and Puranic texts. Through works such as Monsamangol and the Shib-Chaturdashi narratives, the depiction of Shiva in Bengali poetry emerges with a distinctive blend of divine and human traits. Unlike purely mythological renditions, the Shibayan literary branch emphasizes human experiences with Shiva at the center of moral and social narratives. The core focus is how the folkloric, agrarian Bengali Shiva evolved from Puranic origins to a culturally resonant human-centered figure.
