Vaishali's City Bride: Volume 1 Heroine
Category: dive & sail wetsuit
In ancient Vaishali, a heartrending tale unfolds. A childless couple, their hearts full of compassion, stumble upon an abandoned baby girl in a lush mango orchard. With tenderness, they name her Ambapali, signifying her birth from the very fruit that nourishes life.
As Ambapali grows into a beautiful eighteen-year-old, fate deals her a bitter blow. Vaishali's ancient laws decree that any woman deemed as stunningly beautiful, like their beloved Ambapali, must become a courtesan, the 'Bride of the City.' This cruel twist of destiny leaves Ambapali brokenhearted.
Despite the ironclad laws, Ambapali refuses to be entirely consumed by sorrow. She cleverly establishes conditions that transform her residence, the magnificent Palace of Seven Worlds, into a power center. As the wealthiest and most influential men prostrate before her, Ambapali bides her time, seething with a burning desire for revenge...
"Vaishali Ki Nagarvadhu," an epic tale in Hindi, was first published in 1948-49.

As a result, this literary masterpiece stands unmatched in its genre.
