ABOUT ME Hi! I am 245CMR, a Wikipedian and a member of Wikiprojet Hinduism.If you think that an article related to Hindu mythology needs a serious reconstruction, feel free to ask me. I am fond of Hindu mythology and try to defend Hinduism-related articles from vandalism. The Mahabharata is my favorite and it is my priority! As a result, I hardly edit articles related to the Ramayana, most of which are in very poor conditions. Please help in developing them. I used to create pictures for the articles which don't have a single picture. You can see them here. Sometimes, I become impatient and make a lot of grammatical mistakes in edit summaries. Please assume good faith.
