ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Itihasa

Itihasa is a big word that describes important stories that have been passed down from generations and generations of people. In fact, it really means "history." Itihasa usually includes stories about really important people, like kings and queens, and things they did that were very important. It's kind of like reading a really exciting book about a hero and all the exciting things they did. People have been telling these stories for a long time, and they help us understand where we came from and how we got to where we are today.
