Sita by Devdutt Pattanaik
An Illustrated Retelling of the Ramayana
A retelling and reexamination of the Ramayana from the woman's perspective, weaving together tradition, folklore, and myth to present many faces of a single heroine—daughter, wife, exile, queen and deity—while exploring how cultural narratives shape and constrain female identity; it contrasts regional versions and symbolic meanings to challenge simplistic moral readings and invite readers to see the epic as a living, mutable story rather than a fixed moral lesson.
