Yup di a verrrrrrrry good episode, only hitch is that ,when Ram n Sita were being coronated no mantras were recited😕 It wasn't a custom at least in those days to coronate a king and queen without any mantras as it was regarded as inaupicious.

I agree that Bharat Lakshman and Shathrugan took up the places of Lord Ram's personal royal servants and it would have been inappropriate if their wives were there too. Besides it may have seemed overcrowded near the throne. There might have been a rumour that Bharat, Lakshman and Shathrugan may get distracted (note that I said rumour and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have been distracted at all. Neither will their wives cause such a discomfort) with their wives around or that they kept their wives with them at all times.

I don't remember reading that the queens Kaushalya, Sumitra and Kaikeyi went to Mithila to witness their sons' marriage in the Valmiki Ramayanbut in the Kambaramayan all three of them go to Mithila to attend the wedding.

Reason KSK didn't go to Mithila was that it was the duty of the MiL's of the new bahus to do the varan i.e. welcoming ceremony at the new home palace. If KSK were there in Mithila, who would have greeted SUMS when they got to Ayodhya?

About LBS, were they always standing there as Rama's attendents/guards? I thought they had a stature similar to that of the king himself. But after 14 years of being separated from their husbands, I thought that UMS would have been better alongside them (not at the throne), rather than as statuettes behind their MiLs.

P.S. Ananya, please don't use BO as abbreviations for Box Office. The stench is unbearable😆

Sita

Good summary. But I thought the depiction of Hanuman was rather slapstick style - I didn't like him being shown as disrespecting Maharani Sita, that too on her greatest day. Even if the beads didn't have Shri Rama's name on it, anything given to him by Sita, he would have treasured. At any rate, here is how Valmiki describes the part in question:

Rama presented to Seetha, an excellent string of pearls, furnished with superior gems, shining like a beam of moon-light; two clean and beautiful raiment and lovely ornaments. Looking towards Hanuma the monkey, Seetha, daughter of Janaka, having taken off the pearl-string from her neck, repeatedly caught the glimpse of all the monkeys

Looking at her, Rama who was acquainted with the gesture of another spoke to Seetha as follows: "Dear Seetha! Give the pearl-necklace to a person, with whom you are pleased and in whom the following viz. sharpness, firmness, renown, dexterity, competence, modesty, prudence, virility, prowess and intelligence are ever present." The black-eyed Seetha gave that pearl necklace to Hanuma. Hanuma, the foremost among the monkeys, by wearing that necklace, which was as white as a heap of moonlight-beams, shone brilliantly as a mountain silvered by a white cloud.

All the elder ones among the monkeys and others, who were foremost among the moneys, were honoured suitably with raiment and ornaments. Thereafter, Rama the tormentator of enemies, having thought over, presented articles according to their inclinations, to Mainada, Dvivida and Nila. Rama, who was unwearied in action, then suitably honoured Vibhishana, Sugreeva, Hanuma, Jamabavan and all other eminent monkeys with desired objects and abundant gifts. All of them went back, delighted in mind even as they had come.

Thereafter, all those excellent great souled monkeys, offering their salutation to Rama and getting permission from him, returned to Kishkindha. Having seen Rama's coronation-ceremony, Sugreeva the chief of monkeys, after getting honoured by Rama, entered the city of Kishkindha.

So why are the Sagars depicting Hanuman as disrespecting Sita, when he did nothing of the sort?😡
