Mother Earth gifted him a daughter. King Janak always knew she’ll ultimately return, just like she emerged in a pot – a cute baby asking to be reared – but aware all the time she is the Mother.
He did his best to raise her like a princess, and married her to a Prince. But fate took her to the forests from the palace. Stories about womanhood and fairness of the patriarchy emanated from her journey, stories that still make people ponder what is right.
The story of Sita will never end, just raise questions. She was born to do that.


Sita is a profound, raising questions, drawing us in to ponder.

The problem with mythology is – nobody knows what happened at that point of time. We read all available versions of a story, and draw our own conclusions in line with our perspectives.

Thank you, D.Avery! Mythology has multi-faceted characters. Only a snapshot can be provided in a flash, but this is the gist.
