"Ila is the queen of Pratishtanapur but she can never be an Empress. The kings in Aryavart would
never bow down to a woman. But she isn’t one to give up. 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."
