The Renunciation

Enveloped in the serene surroundings of Sage Valmiki’s ashram, resides a quiet story; a story of a woman that encompasses love, struggles, and separation. She raises her twin sons, who remain blissfully unaware of her extraordinary past—her true name, her divine origins, or even the blotched truth of her renunciation as the forsaken wife of the beloved and divine king of Ayodhya. But as destiny plays its twisted games, her young boys are to encounter their father— both unaware of their connection to sing in his honour. As she grapples with the reality of truth coming to light, she is forced to revisit all the memories. In the pages of Valmiki’s Ramayana lay the bare facts of her life, her husband’s galore triumphs and the injustice that life put her through. As painful as those memories are, she still has a way to go. For years, she spent her life raising her boys with the thought of it all being over, only for fate to yet again puts her through the unimaginable.
This is the story of Sita. A story of revelations, reunions and renunciations.
