It all started when his mother asked for the boon. He was feeling ashamed, losing himself in the tangle of the unfair treatment towards his brother. With deep regard for brother Ram, Bharat refused to ascend the throne and decided to live a saint life for fourteen years.
But she was unprepared for the despondency that completely enshrouded him. Once the centre of his universe, her presence was not even acknowledged now. It was vicarious guilt that had consumed him, she realised. And her thoughts turned a permanent hue of blue-grey. She, who paid the actual price – Bharat’s Ardhangini, Mandavi.

Such a beautiful explanation, Shirisha! Mandavi is a character whose pain is never scripted anywhere. But you brought it out! Kudos!A very important though implicit teaching of Ramayana, applicable even in today's date,........ the wife pays the price for every decision of her husband.

We forget that Mandavi had to choose between her sister and her husband, between love and greed...such a nuanced take on Mandavi❤️
