Summary, etc. Sita: An Illustrated Retelling of Ramayana is an epic story based on the life of India’s most admired prince- ‘Rama’ and his wife ‘Sita’. Ramayana is a mythological story, which is being passed on from past many generations. Since ages, the character that is most emphasized has been that of Rama, who has always been known to keep his word whatever be the circumstances. The role of Sita has been generally overlooked in the past. Sita too is a pivotal character being a single mother; she went through many ups and downs all alone. Still, she has often been portrayed as a frail and meek character.<br/><br/>In the present book, the author has emphasized on this very fact that Sita, through shown as a submissive character, was a woman who had massive strength.

Also, depicted is her attachment with her sisters, with the trees in the forest, as she loved her life in forest, her bond with the mother earth.<br/><br/>This book has portrayed Sita in a fair and magnanimous way, along with restating the whole story of Ramayana.
