Madhavi  (English, Hardcover, Dr Vanitha Vaidialingam)

In the glittering world of ancient Puhar, where music ruled hearts and art defined destiny, Madhavi was its brightest star — a dancer whose every movement stirred the soul. Yet behind the applause lay a woman torn between love and freedom, between the devotion she gave and the betrayal she received. When Kovalan, the merchant’s son, enters her life, passion collides with fate — setting in motion a chain of choices that will test her spirit and redefine her purpose. From the heights of fame to the silence of renunciation, Madhavi’s journey is one of heartbreak, awakening, and transcendence. A powerful reimagining of the courtesan from the Tamil epic Silappathikaram, Madhavi brings to life the woman history silenced — a story of art, love, and the eternal search for meaning.
