okay now some ramblings...
.In the women's folk tradition in Indian: they have their own version of telling the ramayana ...The ramayana is told by these woman singer keeping sita as their sole concern this is popular in Bengali in the East (Bangladesh), Marathi in the West, Telugu in the South and Maithili in the northern Hindi belt.The favourite episodes of the women singers seem to come mostly from the Balakanda and the Uttarkanda,the songs are majorily directed towards sita and incidentally the man who seems to appear most in the songs is Lakshmana, the brother-in-law and forest companion of Sita. He appears to be the only man whom the rural women of India and Bangladesh care for, with whom Sita can communicate.
i found one song quite interesting thought to share it here 😳
its a Telugu song,which depicts Sita is three months pregnant. "What does Sita's heart desire?" Well, it is nothing less than tiger's milk, she tells her wishes to lakshman... and Lakshman, her dear brother-in-law, gets it for her from the forest...wen he gets her tiger's milk sita further say "But, Lakshman, I have one more desire in my heart." -"What is it now?"--"In the middle of the blue ocean lies a distant sandbank. / In the middle of the sandbank/Stands a single teakwood tree. / From that teakwood tree hangs a special honeycomb. / With that honey --Sita's exotic taste doesn't please her mother-in- laws. She comments: "Hmph! I too was pregnant once, and delivered Rama and Lakshman alright. / But did I ever ask for such outlandish stuff? All I craved for was green mangoes and coconut..." but lakshmana doesnt delay any further and brings the honey...how cute is tht ...sita bhabhi and bhabhi k bhaiyya lakshmana
