Media outlets recount mythic claims about Lord Krishna's marriages
Two Hindi-language right-leaning outlets, Punjab Kesari and Aaj Tak, published pieces describing mythological narratives about the Hindu deity Krishna. Punjab Kesari's article highlighted the claim that Krishna had 16,108 wives, presenting it as a mysterious marriage story. Aaj Tak's piece listed five enigmatic episodes from Krishna's life, describing them as surprising and supernatural. Both pieces framed the information as intriguing aspects of Krishna's life rather than verified historical facts. No governmental or scholarly sources were cited; the stories rely on traditional religious lore. The coverage did not report any new discoveries or official statements, focusing solely on recounting the legends.
