Paanchali is a fairly common name for girls ... that is one of Draupadi's names.

Other names for Draupadi - courtesy Google - Shama and Krishnaa ... as she was dark skinned.

She was also called Yagneseni ... but I guess that's not a common name at all.

In Indonesia, Shinta is a very common name for girls ... that is the Indonesian version of Sita. Maithili is quite common, so is Janaki and Sia.

Interesting discussion. 😃

<font color="#990000">I like Sita ji in bits and portions. I definitely like her more than Ram ji. I dont know what they are going to show in the serial because it is indeed true that her side of the story would mean as seen from her eyes and it can be very very different to what we have perceived or known or have been told until now.</font>

<font color="#990000">I am quite curious to know the Source of this as it has intrigued me a lot. I have even asked the Writer of the show Anand Sir to shed some light on the available material on Sita ji because honestly speaking I have found none !!! ..lets see what he says.</font>

<font color="#990000">The biggest question that I have in mind is if these ladies are so great ...like Draupadi, Sita ji etc ...why are girls not named after them... Ram and Arjun are quite in use ...aren't they !</font>

<font color="#990000">I have heard that it is believed no one names their girls after the above ladies due to the kind of lives they led ...I mean it was full of struggles and sorrow ... Why are things this way ?</font>

<font color="#990000">Kind of looking for answers to a lot of questions in my mind. Lets see if I get them.</font>

Sita was born from the ashes.

While I was a kid I've come across an interesting story about Sita's birth. Godess Lakshmi incarnated as Vedavati, Vedavati had intense devotion towards Vishnu and wanted to be his consort. She used to do tapasya so that she can fulfil her desire. Ravana was travelling in his Pushpaka Vimana when he spots Vedavati and wanted to make her his wife. Vedavati refused Ravana and when he tried to force her she jumped into the agni. Ravana was so infatuated that after her death he took her ashes with them and set off to Lanka. Narada appeared in the Pushpaka and asked Ravana to drop the ashes. Disturbed by Narada's words Ravana drops Vedavati's ashes which happens to fall in Mithila. Sita is said to have born from these ashes.

I must also add that Sita is a very common name is South India.

I too have read this story

But vedavathi is not Sita as per my Knowledge

But the story behind her is like u said

When Sita does Agni Paroksha

Along with Sita another lady emerges

She is vedavathi

Since Ram has vowed to be a one women man

She was given a boon that she will get married to Vishnu in her next birth

If I am right she is Padhmavathy in next birth

We did an animation Project on it😉

And yes Sita is a very common name in South

And I am from south
