@DD I am so thankful to you for putting this symbolisms. I dont know but to be frank watching today's episode I was confused. Was not sure whether I could write the analysis the right way. It was that clouded. I saw something, but was unable to connect. your line ek se anek, anek se ek made it. Posting analysis soon.

Look at the remarkable screenplay. Where does the story start. Sanskriti treating itself supreme. The king Dasrath and his desire to have a male heir for the throne. One man and his Moh for a boy. For that he marries thrice. He even makes a deal to the father of one of the queen that the child born to her if it is male will become the king. The crown Queen of Ayodhya Kausalya is subjected to emotional agnipareeksha day in day out as the king treats her secondary over queen Kaikeyi. When his marriage doesn't work to give male heir he goes to the next step of abusing Prakriti. Send the daughters of Ayodhya to seduce a rishi. A king who is supposed to protect his praja sends away women of his land to their death. And well we have to say he shows equality there. As he sends his own daughter also the same path. What do you call a father who sends his daughter to seduce a man so that he can have a male heir. His desire to have a boy outweighs his maryada as a father.

Now this king gets 4 sons and the second queen Kaikeyi asks him has he given a vachan to her father her child will be the king. This man shows arrogance to the lady. To the woman who carried the child for 9 months in her womb he tells he has 4 sons because of him only and she didn't do anything.

Prakriti denied justice cries and decides to take action on her own. She shows her Mahakali roop to Raja Dasrath which snuffs the life out of him when none of his so called male heirs are there. Kaikeyi serves the punishment to king Dasrath through Ram. Thus giving partial justice to many. We go for ek to anek in the death of Dasrath. Prakriti rules supreme. She takes down the symbol of the sanskriti that thought it can get away abusing Prakriti brutally. King Dasrath has a very painful death at the feets of his crown queen Kausalya.

But what goes wrong is that when Prakriti took Kali roop she is blamed. Her Mahatwakamsha is blamed and the king becomes the victim. So the entire blame rests on Kaikeyi or rather the perception is that Kaikeyi is the root of the problem. But in reality both Kaikeyi and Dasrath were responsible. And during vanvass only the symbol of Sanskriti is taken down, while the power of Sanskriti that is represented by Dasrath is still active in Ayodhya in the form of the rules of governance

Now comes the girl. Representative of Prakriti, who suffers at the hands of power of this sanskriti. We have to see ek or it is the one girl who suffers. But what turns the table here is, though the Prakriti suffers, the representative of Sanskriti her father is unwilling to accept what has happened to his daughter. He is not ready to accept his daughter is characterless. In Dasrath's case it was Prakriti standing against Sanskriti, where Prakriti got blamed. But now it is Sanskriti standing against Sanskriti. This is the real game. Now the king has got a wife who has stayed at another man's place. Or rather the queen of Ayodhya as per the rule book of Dasrath Sanskriti is characterless and deserves punishment. This man whose daughter suffered raises the question. And this ek, sends the queen who is pregnant for her second vanvass.

For the king who was ek Praja suffered when Dasrath was there. Now for ek Praja the king will suffer. But what is beautiful here is that the king sends away the queen. But in front of everyone he keeps her golden statue telling she is his wife for him her character is pure and no Praja has any right to tell him her place as his wife should be replaced by anyone. When golden Sita is kept, Ram tells Ayodhya or ek tells Anek the value of his wife, her purity is that of 24 carat gold.

And this attack on Sanskriti doesn't stop. Luv Kush comes and asks why Ayodhya banished the woman who did AP. Ayodhya has no answer. Finally Ayodhya asks Lakshmi of Ayodhya, Sita of Ayodhya to come back. And Sita she gives the most harsh reply to the anek, who doubted her, who treated the Prakriti secondary to Sanskriti by chosing Prakriti over Sanskriti. When Prakriti takes Sita, proving her chastity, Sanskriti is unable to do anything. Sanskriti changes. Perception changes, thought process changes. It started with ek and it will end with ek. Only thing is that it started with the selfishness of Sanskriti and it will end with the freewill of Prakriti.

Dasrath put blame on Kaikeyi by becoming a victim and Ram vindicates Sita creating the perception of victimhood for her.

Couple of things more from today's episode. For Ram's first coronation all the arrangement was made by the 3 girls Urmila, Mandavi and Kirti, who represented the changes in Prakriti. And today it was done by 3 people who represented change in Sanskriti. Sugreev who changes the Sanskriti of Kishkinda, Vibishan who changes the Sanskriti of Lanka and Hanuman who is the corner stone of all changes that has happened to Sanskriti.
So during Ram first coronation Prakriti has changed. From subdued woman of Ayodhya, independant free thinking girls of Mithila took charge. And now it is time for Sanskriti of Ayodhya to change.

Another interesting aspect. If I remember the first coronation Ram and Siya walked together. Today Ram came with his brothers from one side and Siya came with her sisters and mothers from other side. They walked together to occupy the throne. It signified the independance of Sanskriti and Prakriti and when it comes to power their co-existence is required to get the desired balance as they occupy the throne together.

Shruthi I was typing with the episode. I nowhere expected the girl's father to pop up. But the time I began the point of ek and anek her father was shown with Shatrughna's words. My gawd!!!! That was just bang on. I was whistling in my mind 😆

Guys not seeing anything. It was a romanctic yet symbolic episode. I loved the way Sira romance was shown. First when Sita comes to the room, Ram closes her eyes from behind.She tries to talk but he says now he will talk and she will listen.
It signified a change in equations. Ram knows they have a problem and that problem is dealing with perception of people on Sita's purity. Why the problem happened. She talked and without verifying what she told was right or wrong he went. Sita had a perception on golden deer and Ram went behind that perception the problem is created. It is very very important for Ram to ensure not a person raises question on Sita's purity. For that he has to take action and she has to listen. Hence he is closing her eyes and taking her.
If you see in the night in their room the moon was shown. And before that the dobi tells during Poornima the daag of moon can easily be seen. Ram sees the world seeing th daag in his chaste wife.
Next was beautiful the same way closing her eyes he brings her to the lap of nature. Look at the symbolism. He takes away all her jewels and places jasmine ornaments on her. Jasmine whose color is pure white symbolises to change the perception on Sita's purity he will have to send her away from palace. The gold of queen has to be replaced by the natural shringaar of nature. Then Sita tries to go away. He holds her and places near to her.
It shows he will physically sent her away, but at every moment he will be with her.

Now coming to Ram's speech. That he will place Praja over his personal joys and sorrows like his ancestors. When Ram sends Sita away he is doing that to close the complaint of one praja. But has his ancestors done that. Dasrath well used his praja to get heir. Harishchandra left his praja to the care of Vishwamitra as vachan was important to him. But the perception these kings created made it seem praja was everything to them. Ram lives for Praja, but still the perception deals him responsible for Sita's banishment.

I love the way SKR has dealt with perception. Perception is the assumption, it is the illusion, it is the Maya. If you can look at anything with open mind you break perception and thus Maya

Shruthi I was waiting for ur post...I loved it whatever u said so beautifully..
agree SKR shown good way the perception ...
another Lakshmi Narayan can be won by Love devotion not by rules see their Leela they change mold n give verdict how sweetly still many get confused with this..
another thing I have notice after coronation Ram speak when Siya was standing behind him as if supporting him from behind..
like u said Ram protect Siya definitely which SKR shown again so clearly ...
like that Siya give her full support to Ram n make him Maryada Purushottoam...
Purush help n protect Prakriti who also help Purush in his duty..
what an ideal couple n symbolic...

Happy onam in advance Di will post in ur thread on sept 14. Was waiting for ur analysis and visited this forums so many times today.
Perception is for narrow minded people. Harischandra, Dasharath, ram as u said ram exposes not only the hypocrisy of society also ancestors.
Change in equations great point ram trusted Sitas knowledge on nature and the trust grew over years and in the swarn mrigh episode her perception was proved wrong but does not mean her equation with nature had been any less. The understanding of sanskriti came upon Sita from then on. As u have already said under Janak and ram she coudnt realize it. As u said it will end with the freewill of prakiti and that will not be queens shringaar. Ram was blamed for exile yet after centuries he is worshipped not his ancestors. Great leela indeed Di but without u I wouldn't have understood. Feeling blessed.

Will u be analysing siya ke ram pavithra prem ke pratham gatha tomorrow if u can try to post some analysis on the journey of siya ram Di. I know ur busy if u get to watch it and if the compiling is good try to post Di.
Yet to unres on other things will do after the main papers are over yet can't resist checking ur analysis.
Good night. Again was reading first symbolism thread something struck me today need help when u are free will ask after onam am so confused.
One more question last epi of dabh today if u post anything pls give link here.
Are u on Wattpad Di?
