This study delves into the fascinating realm of ancient Indian mythology, where divine interventions and reproductive miracles abound. By examining the mythological narratives of test tube babies in ancient India, this study uses interdisciplinary approach to explore the intersection of mythology and biotechnology, shedding light on the ingenuity and broad-mindedness of ancient Indian society. Through a qualitative analysis of ancient Indian texts, such as the Mahabharata and other ancient texts, this research identifies and interprets the mythological accounts of assisted reproduction. By juxtaposing these mythological narratives with modern biotechnological advancements in assisted reproductive technology (ART), this study highlights the surprising parallels and convergences between ancient Indian mythology and contemporary biotechnology. This research contributes to a nuanced understanding of ancient Indian reproductive practices, challenging the dominant narrative that assisted reproduction is a solely modern phenomenon. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the value of interdisciplinary research, combining insights from mythology, history, philosophy, and biotechnology to illuminate the complexities of human reproduction and the human experience. Ultimately, this research paper invites readers to reconsider the boundaries between mythology and science, and to appreciate the ingenuity and creativity of ancient Indian society in its exploration of the human reproductive experience.
