Sita's Appearance Day

Today is the Appearance Day of Sita Devi. Srimati Sita Devi, a manifestation of the goddess of fortune, Lakshmi Devi, is the eternal consort of Lord Ramachandra. When Lord Ramachandra was banished to the Dandakaranya forest, Sita Devi left the comforts of the royal palace to join Him. While in the forest she was kidnapped by the demonic king Ravana, yet despite his endeavors to enjoy her beauty, she remained always dedicated to Lord Ramachandra.While there are many books recounting the tales from the Ramayana, the Sita's Fire Trilogy, is a beautifully illustrated novel whose words and stunning artwork immediately pull the reader into the unfolding drama.“The intrigue and mystery starts with the opening line: never have I been pulled so quickly into a book through a few simple yet tantalizing words. The art and magic unfold page after page through story and image alike. Perhaps it’s a story you know; perhaps not. But Vrinda’s words and her mother’s exquisite art create another world we can enter and revel in the enchantment and adventure that lies within. From injustice to savagery, heroism to beautiful princesses, battles for honor and death before the converse, dishonor, the unique style of Vrinda Seth’s writing captivates the heart and mind, drawing one deeper into the burning intricacies of Sita’s Fire…” —Braja Sorensen, author of Lost & Found in India, Mad & Divine, and India & Beyond
