आपगाभिः च संवीता सूत्रैः इव वसुंधरा ॥

The earth as if stitched with threads.

The Valmiki Project

In Search of the Mind That Imagined Rāma

Computational stratigraphy across all twenty-four thousand verses of the Rāmāyaṇa — recovering the singular literary genius whose story the tradition preserved, but whose screenplay it overwrote.

Multi-model computational analysis combined with verse-by-verse close reading, identifying the recoverable signature of one literary mind across 24,000 verses. Underlying research published openly at the Zenodo Research Archive.

A book is in preparation.
