Purushamriga

(Based on Mahabharat and a local folk tale)


The scent of sandal and incense were overwhelming. Every inch of the walls, all the doors, windows and ceiling were covered with the jasmine and mango leaves festoons. Rishis and Maharishis had been reciting chants for days now. The whole palace felt so pious. Each time they poured the ghee in the yagna fire, the warmth of the flames filled the heart of all the people present there. The whole kingdom was feeling rejuvenated because of this Rajsuya yagna.
