Description
Based on Valmiki’s Adbhut Ramayana, this is the story of Sita like you’ve never seen her before…
The war in Lanka is over. Ravana is dead, and the victorious Rama returns to Ayodhya to be crowned king of Kosala. But this is not the end of evil—a far greater threat looms over the three worlds.
Ravana’s elder brother, the wicked, thousand-headed Sahastra Ravana, rules the fabulously rich island of Pushkar. A tyrant among asuras, he terrorizes the gods and even defeats Vishnu himself in battle.
Determined to put an end to his reign, King Rama declares war and sets out for Pushkar with Sita and his brothers. He is joined by Sugriva's vanaras, Jambavan’s bears, and Vibhishana’s asuras, forming an army like no other.
The two forces collide in a battle that shakes the very foundation of the cosmos. Arrows and divine astras darken the skies as Rama and Ravana engage in a deadly duel. To the horror of the gods, Rama falls, mortally wounded.
And then, as time itself holds its breath, Sita steps forward. She embraces her dying husband, then turns to face Ravana.
The cosmos watches as Sita and Ravana meet—for the last battle.

About the author
Preetha Rajah Kannan
Myself, mother, reader and writer: in that order!
As did most of us, I grew up on a staple diet of stories from the Ramayana. I listened in open-mouthed wonder and blind devotion to tales of shape-changing demons, flying chariots, dark curses and conquering gods. With the years came the usual questions: How could Rama shoot Vali from hiding? How could Rama doubt Sita? I soon put aside the stories as a part of our treasured heritage and went on with my life.
Then came my son. Vaanan fell in love with the story of Hanuman and insisted that I read it to him as his bedtime story for weeks on end. The Ramayana came alive for me once more through his trusting eyes. My son hero-worshipped Hanuman’s courage and strength. At the age of two-and-a-half, he could narrate the story in perfect detail—from Anjani and Kesari to the Rishyamukha Mountains and Kishkindha. Vaanan moved on to the likes of He-man and Spiderman. And life went on.
But the Ramayana was only biding its time. It was waiting for me around the bend in a new avatar—the Adbhut Ramayana. True to its name, this version is incredible. Here, Valmiki silences those of us who questioned his earlier treatment of Sita. Here, Sita is no docile, head-bowed-down, helpless wife. Sita is the embodiment of womanhood as raw energy. She is shakti in all its glory. For me, the Ramayana was finally complete.
Dear readers, I hope this book will add a new dimension to your appreciation of our timeless epic. As always, I hope you will pass on the stories to your children and grandchildren.
Happy reading to you all!
