She was beautiful, warm, vibrant, and sparkling. It is a tale of a beautiful yet distressing love story of Lakshman and Urmila. The story is set across their childhood to the very end of Ramayana. The novel Sita’s Sister, which is also our latest literary possession, is based on the life of Urmila, Lakshman’s wife and the most overlooked character in the epic. While we were so focused on the struggles faced by Sita, Ram and Lakshman in the jungle, we never thought what might have happened to Urmila, whose husband did not even consider her before taking the big decision of following his brother into the exile for 14 years. We all have read, heard, or seen the epic ‘Ramayana’ numerous times, isn’t it? We are very well aware of the main characters – Ram, Sita, Lakshman, Dashrath, Kaikeyi, Manthara, Ravana & their stories.
