Udena, unaware of her true identity, falls in love with this mysterious girl, while his queen—Retnavali’s own cousin—struggles with jealousy and suspicion.Through moments of romance, revelation, and royal drama, the truth unfolds—revealing Retnavali’s strength, virtue, and destiny as queen.Join me to hear this poetic and powerful story of love, identity, and fate from India’s golden age of Sanskrit drama.
