dabang and dhamal

few months back

or

the time it was aired for first time on zee tv

or re-telecast on zee tv

during the phase ndtv ramayan aired

I didn't know it was telecast at that time. I discovered NDTV Imagine Ramayan by accident. I initially thought BRC Ramayan was a cut version of Vishnu Puran but later found out that they were different. Past few years I have been away from epics/itihaas so didn't know which aired when. Thankfully the mini episodes were uploaded later in YouTube so got to watch other series. BRC Ramayan wasn't available until much later.

they showed the sisters having different qualities

i liked the way

they explored their characters but

they gave too much focus on lanka scenes

It's nice to see them explore the sisters' characteristics but I wonder where they get info from or if they have used their imagination.

Vishnu Puran and it's tales focuses on Dasavatar and the main events. Probably that's why Lanka is given more importance.

sita known for cooking and urmila known for painting

i read at many places

also they had all talents

even if they took creative liberty

it's fine

i was talking about chopra ramayan

not chopra vishnupuran

in those shows

costumes of men were quite simple

not much design or embroidery

these days

mytho shows have

attractive and beautiful

dhotis and shawls for them

by the way

madhubani paintings originated from mithila

shows like siya ke ram and shrimad ramayan

I have read this too but not sure of the source. It sure is fine if they took creative liberty. Princesses were educated in multiple arts, sciences and politics. Its certainly possilbe that they might be interested in especially one or more of them or excel in the same.

Chopra Ramayan seems to follow Vishnu Puran Ramayan pretty closely.

Some shows tend to keep costumes simple for ease of presentation and also designed clothes were rare but given the prosperity of the kingdoms, it is possible that they had a good bunch of talented weavers. Not just designed clothes, it was believed they even had embossed, embroidered and clothes with designer patterns with holes (not entirely sure of this but I remember reading some reports on archaeological statues of Indus Valley did sport such patterns). As for presentation these days its great to see attractive patterns and nice colours... The only problem is that they sometime use some really gaudy stuff and cheap material. No complaints as long as they fit the scene.

I remember reading about Madhubani paintings originated in Mithila but I thought it was a folk art form.Initially I thought it was a simplistic style but later on discovered that there were different styles of Madhubani Portrayal. Not sure but guessing... Its possible that the painting style changed over the many years.
