LokKatha

What it does

Explore documented entities from Indian mythology and folklore — structured profiles, investigation case reports, and Hindi audio narration. Vetala, Yaksha, Churel, and more.

A field guide to the spirits, guardians, and divine forces of the Indian subcontinent — documented from primary sources across three millennia. LokKatha is built like a field archive: begin with an entity, compare it with reports, trace it through regions, then use maps and guides to understand the larger tradition. Join the LokKatha newsletter to receive curated archive updates, newly documented entities, and field reports directly from the Sutradhaar desk. Immediate updates when a new spirit, guardian, or mythical record is published. Freshly archived sightings, regional reports, and investigation additions. Context-rich highlights that explain why each update matters in the archive. One…from lokkatha.xyz

  Ithihāsas – a character explorer for Hindu epics, built in a few hoursApr 2026 · ithihasas.in · ▲176

  Hi HN! I’ve always found it hard to explore the Mahābhārata and Rāmāyaṇa online. Most content is either long-form or scattered, and understanding a character like Karna or Bhishma usually means opening multiple tabs. I built https://www.ithihasas.in/ to solve that. It is a simple character explorer that lets you navigate the epics through people and their relationships instead of reading everything linearly. This was also an experiment with Claude CLI. I was able to put together the first version in a couple of hours. It helped a lot with generating structured content and…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
