Brahmakamal: Love Story of a Devdasi (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781638505228)

A saga of forbidden love from the 11th century Can a devadasi fall in love? Yes. But is she allowed to do so?A devadasi is an ever-auspicious one, presiding over the temple rituals, entertaining the king and brought up to respect and follow traditions mindlessly. Nitya does all that unquestioningly until she meets Prabhas.Prabhas, the young rebel who grew up in a devadasi household, finally mellows to become an excellent musician. But just as he readies for a duty-bound life ahead, he encounters Nitya.As Kaveri, Nitya's mother, and the town's dashing chief Yugendra personify the social hierarchy, rigid customs and hypocrisy of the day to tear them apart, do Nitya and Prabhas stand a chance?What survives? Love that knows no bounds or traditions that were the very essence of their existence?
