RAMAYAN
Whenever we hear the name of the greatest epic of the Indian history, a few things come in our mind.
Sita's wait for her husband, Shri Ram's love for his wife, Laxman's duty and love towards his brother and sister in law, kaikeyi's curse, kaushalya's years of wait, Maharaj Dhashrath's pain, Urmila's sacrifice, Mandavi's and Shrutkirti's silent tears, bharat's agony, Shatrughan's helplessness, Sumitra's order to her son, Hanuman's devotion, Vibhishan's righteousness, Ravan's evilness and plight of the people of Ayodhya.
There are many other things that also come in mind.
But something that never crosses our mind is there was a flame of righteousness burning in the dark evil palace of Lanka.
There was a woman who was loved by Ravan but who failed to erase the evilness.
The woman who's chastity and purity got her a place as the panchkanya - The women who destroy sins.
She, who lost her husband, sons,brother in laws, family and people. She, who always stood by her husband.
She, who for her people and kingdom, sacrificed and remarried her brother in law to save her kingdom.
She, the forgotten queen of Lanka.
Mandodari,
The Bygone Empress.
