The Hidden Women of Ramayana - Part One

Ramayana is a world-famous epic that celebrates the Hindu god Ram and his life. In North India, Ramayana is the basis for Diwali, the festival of lights, where everyone celebrates the victory of good over evil.

Ramayana always features Sita, wife of Lord Rama, and explores her beauty, chastity and pious devotion to her husband. However, there are many other women dotted around the epic who have made small but significant contributions. This four-part podcast series seeks to explore four such women.

Join Supriya Nagarajan as she narrates and sings about Ahalya, Tara, Mandodari and Shoorpanakha. Experience engaging storytelling, framed by Sanskrit lyrics written by Arjun Bharadwaj and music mixed by Duncan Chapman.

Do not miss this series of fascinating podcasts catering to an inquiring mind that wants to read between the pages of one of the greatest epics in the world.
