One popular theme is the battle between good and evil. For example, in the Mahabharata - based fictions, the Kurukshetra war is a central event where the Pandavas (good) fight the Kauravas (evil).
Love and sacrifice are also common themes. Draupadi's sacrifice in 'The Palace of Illusions' shows her strength and love for her husbands. Gods and goddesses' love stories, like that of Shiva and Parvati, are often explored. Another theme is the search for self - knowledge and enlightenment. Many characters in these fictions go on a journey to discover their true selves, as it was an important aspect of Indian philosophy. In the Shiva Trilogy, Shiva's journey to understand his destiny is a key part of the story.
The concept of dharma or duty is a significant theme. Characters are often faced with moral dilemmas where they have to choose between their personal desires and their duty. This is seen in many retellings of the Ramayana, where Rama has to uphold his dharma at great personal cost.
