While tales of surrogacy abound in the Indian epics, this is the first known example of a womb-on-rent. This strange story of a girl whose fertility was bartered repeatedly in exchange for priceless horses has intrigued modern scholars, playwrights and authors for its cultural significance. While earlier adaptations have cast its theme as the exploitation of a helpless woman, Bride of the Forest presents it as the story of girl who is surprisingly radical in her ultimate rejection of patriarchy.

Staying true to the original myths and springing entirely from the world of the Mahabharata, the novel brings to life several other characters: Garuda, the divine bird who flies Lord Vishnu around the world: the proud kings of Ayodhya, Pratisthan and Kashi; the arrogant queen, Devayani, and her duplicitous maid whose stories reveal an intricate tapestry of human and divine relationships. 9789389958560-
