An epic tale of undying love...
Heer is an extremely beautiful woman, born into a wealthy family in Jhang. Raanjha is the youngest of four brothers and lives in the village of Takhat Hazara. Being his father's favorite son, unlike his brothers who had to toil in the lands, he led a life of ease, playing the flute.After a quarrel with his brothers over land, Raanjha leaves home. Eventually he arrives in Heer's village and falls in love with her. Heer's father offers Raanjha a job herding his cattle. Heer becomes mesmerised by the way Raanjha plays his flute and eventually falls in love with him. They meet each other secretly for many years until they are caught by Heer's jealous uncle, Kaido, and her parents Chuchak and Malki. Heer is forced by her family and the local priest to marry another man named Saida Khera.
Raanjha is heartbroken. He wanders the countryside alone, until eventually he meets a Shaiva Jogi(ascetic). And after that Raanjha becomes a jogi himself. While reciting the name of the Lord, he wanders all over Punjab, eventually finding the village where Heer now lives.
The two return to Heer's village, where Heer's parents agree to their marriage - though some versions of the story state that the parent's agreement is only a deception. On the wedding day, Kaido poisons her food so that the wedding will not take place, in order to punish the girl for her behaviour. Hearing this news, Raanjha rushes to aid Heer, but is too late, as she has already eaten the poison and has died. Brokenhearted once again, Raanjha eats the remaining poisoned Laddu(sweet) which Heer has eaten and dies by her side.
Heer-Raanjha is one of the most epic and tragic love story ever. It will be recreated in EDT as a part of the upcoming sequence in the college play.
