r/AncientIndia
Hey, I am trying to illustrate the various kinds of attire Indian soldier had from Ancient to Medieval India? Your thoughts on who do I do next?
Mauryan Soldier, Infantry, c.321-232 BCE
Hidden among the boulders of Karnataka (India) lies ancient city of Hampi — once the powerful City of Victory, now one of India’s most extraordinary archaeological landscapes.
My (crude) drawings of ancient buildings
These drawings have been influenced by cave temples, the sanchi torana reliefs, pancha rathas, dravidian architecture, general indian vernacular architecture, and amaravati marbles. Please provide feedback, as I tried to use stepped floors, barrel vaults, gavaksha windows, etc.
The cave temples of Ellora were once vividly decorated, with paint covering the pillars, ceilings, and walls.
My New Youtube Regarding Unhidden History of our Gods and our Indian States and Districts
That version is still getting flagged because even mentioning “I started a YouTube channel” + naming it directly looks like self-promotion to mods—especially in subs like r/AncientIndia.

Exploring Indian Mythology & Regional History Through Short Storytelling
Post:
Namaste,
I’ve been working on creating Youtube content that explores Indian mythology, culture, and regional history in a simple and engaging way (project name: Explore with Sathvik).
Some of the themes I’m focusing on include:
- Stories from Hindu mythology (Krishna Leela, Shiva traditions, etc.)
- Cultural practices and traditions across different regions of India
- Historical and lesser-known facts about Indian states, cities, and districts
My goal is to make complex or lesser-discussed topics more accessible through storytelling while staying respectful to historical context.
I’d really appreciate suggestions from this community—especially:
- Reliable historical sources or texts
- Lesser-known regional stories worth exploring
- Any corrections or perspectives I should be aware of
Looking forward to learning from you all.
