Marathi bedtime stories
your child will actually follow.
Marathi-speaking parents in Pune or Pittsburgh face the same evening: the child wants a story, and everything on the shelf is in English.
Every story here can be heard in Marathi — not a machine-shrugged approximation, but written properly, right down to the gendered forms where they matter.
Every one is there to be read in मराठी or listened to with the screen turned over. Personalised stories use your child's real name, taken from the phonetic spelling on their profile so the narrator is not left guessing.
There are no adverts, and nothing queues itself up once the last line is finished.
Real stories, in मराठी.

There is no shorter Marathi list.
Marathi usually gets whatever is left over: a dozen titles, translated once, never added to. StoryVeda works the other way round. Set Marathi on the profile, press play, and the narration is made for that story at that moment — about thirty seconds, roughly the time it takes to switch the light off — and then it plays through.
The consequence is simple. Every story in the library is a Marathi story if you want it to be, across every kind, with nothing held back for a later release.
मराठी on the screen
The text moves to Devanagari with the audio, so a child learning to read Marathi at school can follow along at home.
Names, said properly
Fill in the phonetic spelling once and the narrator says your child's name the way the family says it.
Nothing is lost in switching
A story heard in Marathi tonight is the same story in English tomorrow — same illustrations, same episode number.
School teaches Marathi as a subject. Very little arrives in Marathi that a child would have chosen anyway. That is the gap a bedtime story sits in: no marks, no homework, just half an hour a night of the language being enjoyable.
Not only stories.
Shlokas and prayers
Chants, breathing exercises and guided visualisation, written out and explained plainly so you are not caught short by a question.
Gratitude, out loud
Three quiet questions each night, answered by speaking. The recordings are kept for you and published nowhere.
Aai or Baba reading
Record your voice once and it becomes the narrator — in Marathi or anything else, from wherever you are that week.
Seven in total.
Siblings can each have their own — the profiles are separate.
