Why Tara an apsara, queen of vanara king called as panchakanya? What was her significant role in Ramayan? This part was well answered when Laxman went in anger to Kishkinda and threaten to destroy it. Just rewinding what we generally know. Ram was not in haste to kill Ravan but gave time for Sugriva to help him in search of Sita, after he becomes the king of Kishkinda. It was not asked as a return gift for what he did to Sugriva, but as a trust on his friend. Sugriva failed to fulfill his promise and lead a luxuries life after becoming King.

The few salient points to highlight the sequence

1. Ram sending Laxman to remind Sugriva about his promise.

2. Laxman got angry on seeing the lifestyle of Sugriva and forgetting his promise to Ram. Laxman's affection towards Ram is shown well here.

3. Sugriva's fear for Laxman and realising his mistake

4. Tara's skill of handling the much tensed situation. She calm the wrath of Laxman. She advised Sugriva to concentrate on the task.

The inner meaning from the Kishkinda kanda in Ramayan is about the comparison of both Vali and Ravan where they remained similar. Both had such a wise life partners and didn't listen to their good suggestions. Here the same vanara king Sugriva considered Tara's words, accepted her good words for the welfare of both king and kingdom. This one shows why Ram joined hands with Sugriva, apart from just saying he also suffered like him missing his wife.

I feel CV's failed to capitalise on such a beautiful Ramayan part. CV's spend time on Sulochana but not on Tara. They showed few things about her in beginning of Kishkinda track but completely missed to pinpoint the important portion.

Note: Its seems SKR rushes towards the final war. Is the so-called rumor of SKR going off air turns to be real news?

Ramya, I would have loved to see this part too
But if they are really rushing then, what about the dragging fest in Lanka
Atleast now SKR is not ending for sure
But u never know with TRP's,Channel strategies,decisions
So it's better we don't think about that and just enjoy the present

But yes they need to tone down Lanka
Yes it's Sita point of view
But secens are getting repetitive
Like Ravan goes on threatening
KKesi
Even Sita and Trijata is getting repeated often

They need to reduce the time that they spend on Lanka and
show other tracks
It doesn't have to be Ram, they can show Hanuman and others too

@bold: Fine. Then they should have focused on this part.
@blue: 😆

There is an article on IF that siya ke ram will end in September. I think they will rush the story now. I hope they stop showing Lanka family and show Ram-Lakshman-Hanuman scenes.

You know what? Even I thought about it. There were many small things that have been fast forwarded. Like Shabri milaap, or Sugreev's lapse, Angad, Jamwant, Hanuman's search efforts, Nal Neel's introduction, etc. But since this is Ramayan from Sita's POV, IMO they are focusing on her stay in Lanka, rather than Ram's journey to find her. I, for one, was always curious about Sita's stay in Lanka and how she faces day to day situations. It could not have been easy for a lone woman, unless her internal divinity shone through, to face the demons & yet, maintain her purity living amidst the basest of base creatures. There were many women who were violated by Raavan. But only Sita managed to stay in Lanka unharmed. So there must've been greater forces at play. Because no ordinary woman could've gone through what she went through and come out of the ordeal unscathed, despite their courage, or devotion to the Lord. This is her story. So I think it is natural for the makers to spend more time with Sita than the small instances that everyone already knows about.

If tomorrow someone comes up with Panchanli's story, they will not highlight all the individuals details of Mahabharat that we know about Pandav's journey. It will/should focus on Draupadi's feelings, her POV and her situations in life.

That is not to say that the other things aren't important. But their story has already been told. This is Ramayan from Sita's POV. At least this is the way I see it. 😊

@LadyMcbeth: I know it's from Sita's POV but it doesn't mean the fine known points should be neglected. When they have enough time, they can show even these worth details. By the way, it's not how Ram struggled to save Sita? Sita should also think, how much Ram went through to reach her. It can also be from her angle.
