Synopsis
Everyone knows about the epic history of Ramayana. We remember about all the great characters involved. One of which was Sita herself. But this book here at Snapdeal talks about Sita's sister, the lesser known sister named Urmila.
Sita's sister is one of those characters that we hardly know about. Urmila was the wife of Lakshmana, and most of us missed out on her because attention was mostly indicated to Rama, Sita and Lakshmana. Urmila has been portrayed in the most exquisite way by the author here. After Sita left for the long term exile in the woods of Ayodhya, her family, consisting of her younger sisters, were left with an uncertain future. Out of the sisters Urmila, stood out and fought with bravery. Her husband was Lakshmana, who also chose to walk away with his brother. This book holds the mystery behind why Urmila chose to stay back at the palace. She could have joined them to the forest for another fourteen years, but she stayed back to wait for her husband. What made her choose that painful life? How did she spend those days of misery? The author brings to us the mystery, the pain, bravery and strength displayed by this incredible woman.
