A Princess, A Lover, and a Goddess. She was all three and more.
Part history, part legend, part sacred lore, Rukmini will leave the readers spellbound
Rukmini nodded with a confident smile. ‘Trust me, Acharya. In addition to the mayhem I fought against in my own family, I also fought against the fear of uncertainties that would envelope my life, if, all gods willing, I wed Krishna. I am no stranger to the fact that life would become only more challenging at Dwaraka.’
A Princess. A Lover. A Goddess
An overreaching emperor thought he would use her as a pawn.
Her eldest brother became a tool of her enemy.
In her own family, she had none to call her own.
But Rukmini, the princess of Vidarbha, made a choice.
She would not bow down to patriarchy.
The story of Rukmini is often overshadowed by the glorious exploits of her charismatic husband, Krishna Vaasudeva. For the very first time, this novel gives Rukmini her due. It portrays the life of the feisty bride
who made bold choices not only while eloping with her beloved but all through her life to become a resplendent goddess, a fitting partner to the most beloved god of the land.
