She desires to live out her dream vicariously - through her son, Pururava. Pururava's mind is entrenched with his mother's ambitions so much so that all of his personal decisions too come to be dictated by this. Including his marriage to the Princess of Kashi, Aushinari. Elsewhere, the breathtakingly beautiful Urvashi is offered a place amongst the apsaras in Amaravati. Naïve and driven by her impulses, she is quick to accept it. When Pururava meets Urvashi on a visit to Amaravati, he irrevocably falls for her. So does Urvashi. But their union isn't as simple. Urvashi is an apsara bound to the directives of Lord Indra. Pururava is bound by his responsibilities to Aryavart. Can they have a happy ending together? Or will they be torn apart ? Read, to find out in this riveting retelling of the story picked from the pages of Indian Mythology."

Book Description
A compilation of love stories and poems from the classical literature and folklore of India Set in regions of great natural beauty where Kamadeva, the god of love, picks his victims with consummate ease, these stories and lyrics celebrate the myriad aspects of love. In addition to relatively well-known works like Kalidasa's Meghadutam and Prince Ilango Adigal's Shilappadikaram, the collection features lesser-known writers of ancient India like Damodaragupta (eighth century AD), whose 'Loves of Haralata and Dundarasena' is about a high-born man's doomed affair with a courtesan; Janna (twelfth century), whose Tale of the Glory-Bearer is extracted here for the story of a queen who betrays her handsome husband for a mahout, reputed to be the ugliest man in the kingdom; and the Sanskrit poets Amaru and Mayaru (seventh century), whose lyrics display an astonishing perspective on the tenderness, the fierce passion and the playful savagery of physical love. Also featured are charming stories of Hindu gods and goddesses in love, and nineteenth-century retellings of folk tales from different regions of the country like Kashmir, Punjab, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. Both passionate and sensuous in its content, this book is sure to appeal to the romantic in all of us.
