Sita by Bhanumathi-ji has achieved what very few books can. It has taken a centuries old tale and told it again so well that it seems new . . . Fresh, lyrical, poetic, philosophical and deeply beautiful, this is a book that will stay like a fragrance long after it is returned to the shelf.
Evocative, deeply emotional and moving, you will feel each turmoil and triumph that the characters go through

-- Yatindra Mishra

Sita by Bhanumathi Narasimhan is a gripping narrative of one of the most inspirational characters. We often view the Ramayana era from a twenty-first-century perspective. But here is a brilliant depiction of Sita, the quintessential Indian feminine spirit, that gives you a real-time feel of a different era -- Dr Devi Shetty

Sita's divine radiance lit up the darkest of forests and even Ravana's Ashoka Vatika while she was kept captive there. Her infinite love for Rama was her compass to live life with grace even in the most testing times. Bhanu Didi's narrative of Sita will empower every woman to realize that as nurturers women are intrinsically blessed with a wellspring of courage that emerges whenever life puts forth a test. Therefore, one must never let any trial or tribulation shake the belief that we have about our courage or conviction -- Preetha Reddy, executive vice chairperson, Apollo Hospitals
