Introduction:
Indian Sunset
Many of the female characters of
the
Ramayana and the Mahabharata provide important meanings in each story.
These stories are about different women who encounter very testing
situations.
In the first story, Sita gets caught up in what could have been a tempting situation with Ravana, but she never lost her love and devotion to Rama. She is a caring and honorable wife who remains faithful to her husband.
The second story is about the grief that Ganga encounters when drowning her children. There is always a reason for everything and my story will help reveal exactly what Ganga was dealing with.
The Final story is about Nalayani (Draupadi in her past life). I described the painful heartache she experiences, then proved how life's situations can turn themselves around in an instant. She finds this out through Lord Ishwara who gives her the opportunity to start over again with a new life.
All of these women are loving individuals who can provide the storybook with examples of how hard it must have been dealing with their traumatic situations. Sita is a well-mannered and loving wife of Rama who brings him much happiness because of her devotion and Ganga wants badly to be with Santanu and she gets her wish, but she has to endure some suffering while here on earth. Then, Nalayani goes through terrible rejection and comes out with five husbands who will love her dearly.
The question is: What is going on in their heads? Is Sita truly a devoted wife? Maybe the pressures of her family and society have pushed her into this position. What about Ganga? She must feel a terrible amount of grief drowning all of her children that she carried for so long. Nalayani is a scorned women who gets the chance to start her life over again with new love. After her rejection from her husbamd, she could have spent the rest of her days being angry, but the Lord Ishwara grants her five husbands. These are the thoughts I explored while I created my storybook which might help you understand better why these woman are the way they are.

The Epics will be observed through the dreams of a little girl
named
Atmaja. While her grandmother, Vibha, reads her ancient Indian epic
poems, Atmaja traverses into dreamland and finds herself amidst all the
characters that her grandmother mentioned before. Atmaja is with Sita
in Ravana's castle. Sita is hysterically crying and wondering if she
will ever see her dearest Rama again. During her long await for Rama,
she struggles with giving in to Ravana.
The following night Atmaja's grandmother tells her the story of Ganga. When Atmaja falls asleep she finds herself there at the water's edge with Ganga. The frightening sight of Ganga killing her child makes Atmaja question her actions. Ganga's intuition tells her that Atmaja has appeared before her to learn a valuable lesson.
In the final story, the little girl, Atmaja merely observes the conversation between Nalayani and Lord Ishwara. She is so overwhelmed with the pain that Nalayani is enduring that she does not know what to say to Nalayani. She decides to remain unseen and just watch what happens when Lord Ishwara comes to answer Nalayani's prayers.
