This is the first part of the many Mini Reviews to comeπŸ˜‡ Looking forward to your precious response. ------------------------------------------------πŸ’“πŸ’“πŸ’“πŸ’“--------------------------------------------------------- Sita’s Ramayana: Genre: Mythology ©Mridula Gupta Books take you places, but this one's gonna bring you home. As Indians, Ramayana has been drilled into our brains and souls. These mythological events have always been used as examples to teach us life lessons.
