This paper attempts to study Orhan Pamuk's novel The Museum of Innocence through the lens of Indian philosophy, particularly Vedanta. Through the honest presentation of ihe protagonist's perception of the world, the novel hints at how individual perceptions of the world differ from the 'real' world. The world, for human beings, is just a mental construct. By enhancing the ambiguity of human perception as seen in the case of Kemal - with happiness and sorrow, love and hatred, and individuality being uncertain - the novel questions the existence of a concrete real world. It thus echoes Vedantic thought that the world, for human beings, is not real but a delusive vision, a product of the mind which is transient, ever-changing and perishable. Given the example of the protagonist’s imaginative world, visibly to the readers much different from the so-called real world, the reader seriously thinks of his own imaginative world and the possibility of it being utterly different from the actual reality.
