Sri Rukmini Kalyanam

Description

Through this poetic epic, Mahathi does not merely narrate an episode from the divine leelas of Krishna, but explores the emotional tensions, familial dynamics, and philosophical depths within the episode of Rukmini’s marriage and Rukmi’s humiliation. Each stanza echoes his command over poetic meter-rich in rhythm, layered in tone, and sculpted with literary grace.

In the scene where Rukmini pleads with Krishna to spare her brother Rukmi, the poet highlights the pathos of sisterly love, Krishna’s mischievous divinity, and the irony of dharma within the family
