This novel is a mythological retelling of Rukmini’s life, bringing to the forefront a woman whose story is often overshadowed by the legendary exploits of Krishna. Rukmini, princess of Vidarbha, finds herself caught in a web of family conflict, political ambition and patriarchal expectations, with a powerful emperor attempting to use her as a political pawn.
Refusing to surrender to the choices imposed on her, Rukmini makes the courageous decision to choose Krishna and her own destiny. Her elopement with Krishna is only the beginning of her journey. The novel follows her struggles and choices as she enters life in Dwaraka and gradually transforms from princess and lover into a revered goddess.
By combining history, legend and sacred lore, the novel presents Rukmini as an independent, courageous and politically aware woman, exploring her identity beyond being Krishna’s wife. It particularly highlights female agency, love, patriarchy, duty, family conflict and self-determination.
