Today I will put this line as the discussion point because it talks about the difference in two cultures.
When you say even the sand is like gold, it represents a culture of illusion. Your priority is more on how you present yourself. The over emphasis on vachans, pradha's all talk about a rigid culture which shows a fakeness where human emotions are given little value. In fact it is a culture where human emotions are suppressed and a facade is put everything is fine. It doesnt matter who gets hurt but the pradha has to continue. It kind of represents our present society where the so called happiness is an illusion. You buy the latest car, have the latest smart phone, bio-metric access wala apartment, gold, diamond but the relations are hollow. They are on the verge of break up. They cannot even stand a minor issues. Yes sand looks gold, but we need to understand sand can never be gold. And of course you cannot eat and drink gold. You need food and water for the same for which you need sand.
Now come to the second part. Gold of Mithila looks like sand. That means it is a culture sans any pretense. That culture has the right values. Direction is given, but no control kept. More than the facade a culture where actions speak. Emotions are allowed the free flow. There are no suppressed emotions. Happiness and sadness both are shared. Relationship bonding is strong. It is a culture where understanding is there that even gold comes from mud, from earth. A land which can distinguish the real gold from sand, unlike in Ayodhya where fake gold will also pass of as original gold.
Culture of Ayodhya is steeped in wealth and the upkeep of image in a society and culture of Mithila is steeped in the knowledge.
Ayodhya gives importance to self, while Mithila is more about sharing. And now this culture of self is going to get mixed with the culture of sharing. 4 girls from Mithila is going to step as Putra Vadhu's in Ayodhya.
To the land where sand is passed off as gold, the real gold or Lakshmi's armed with knowledge are coming. So that the when the illusion breaks, the family doesnt break.
