LAKSHMAN PRIYA

AYODHYA PRAVESH

Then there were various other troops including archers, javelinists, axefighters and insider army or state polices, greeting the royal couples in their specific manner.
"They are the state polices, who handles the inside matters of the kingdom. And currently I'm their incharge." - Lakshman told by pointing at the last troop of army who had a specific type of batch attached to their turban.

"State polices.... Means insider Armies. They are the most trained ones, both physically and mentally, right Saumitra? " - She questioned.
"Absolutely. Because they are the representatives of the king himself. They are also known as the shadow of the king. Because without caring about their own comfort, they guard the people day and night. Only via them anyone can reach out to the king. No problem in the kingdom can go unnoticed by them." - Lakshman described.

Urmila's eyes went to their batch, which was looking like a mythical creature. So Lakshman elaborated- " Their batch... It is the mixed symbol of an eagle, Cheetah and elephant. Which represents their eagle like focus, cheetah like strength and elephants like intelligence. "

"Amazing" - Urmila was impressed.

After the state polices, the common people were standing on both sides of the path and desparately waiting for their Rajkumars and Rajvadhus to arrive.

Ram ordered the chariots to stop and came down from it with Sita. So by following him all the others also came down from their Chariots.
"What happened ? Why did we came down ?" - She questioned.
"Because from here we are going to walk upto the palace. It's 'praja Darshan' (meeting common people).

Ram, Sita were walking at the front with hands joined near chest. Four soldiers were walking with specific type of orange coloured flags behind the couples, which was signifying that they are from the royality. Only the flag with Ram and Sita were golden, which denoting them as the future king and queen. Behind them the other couples were walking in same manner to show respect to the commoners of Ayodhya.

'The wealthiest kingdom of Aryavart..' It was the perfect tag for Ayodhya. The city was just like a utopian paradise. The beauty of Ayodhya was characterized by lush gardens, flowing rivers, and magnificent palaces. The city was radiating peace and prosperity, adorned with vibrant flowers and rich vegetation. The people of Ayodhya were known for their virtue, and the streets were echoing with the sounds of hymns and joyous celebrations. The architecture was grand, showcasing splendid palaces and temples. Ayodhya, under the reign of Raghuvanshi, was looking like a harmonious blend of natural beauty and divine grace.

The river Sarayu was the life force of Ayodhya. Most of it's tradings and businesses were established upon it. The people were rich in culture and finances. The houses were built in very geometrical manner. At the entrances of every street, there were a mini market with all the essential items and a temple dedicated to Narayan. All people had Vaishnav tilak on their forehead, which was showing their devotion towards Lord Vishnu.

The Mithilaian princesses were amused by Ayodhya's beauty. In between the celebrations the discussions were also reaching their ears.
- "oh look at Rajkumari Sita, she is looking like a goddess."

- "yes.. perfect match for our Rajkumar Ram."

- "Rajkumari Mandvi is so lucky. She got such a cutie gem as husband."

- "yeah, look at Rajkumar Bharat's smile. How happy he is."

- "No doubt why Rajkumar Shatrughna and Rajkumari Shrutkirti are the most perfect matches. Their love for eachother is just slossing in their eyes. How dearly they are looking at eachother..."

- "But I'm too curious to know how Rajkumari Urmila made it upto Rajkumar Lakshman's heart ?"

- "Exactly, I can't believe my eyes... How did she melted his warrior heart, which knew nothing except duties and devotion towards elders."

- "Right... His strong and intimidating personality is what made the state police so desciplined.

- "I have heard that, rajkumari Urmila is just the female version of Rajkumar Lakshman. But in a softer way. This is the reason why Maharaj choose her for him. "

- "Yeah... Ram's Shadow and Sita's reflection, they are just made for eachother."

- "Indeed the Princesses are so lucky. Every girl of Aryavart had desire to marry our four princes. But I'm glad that they found the right ones. "

The brides were blushing while walking towards the main palace.
Fourteen big half circular trumpets rang along with many conch shells, just at the moment when the newly weds entered inside the main door of the royal palace. The influential women were standing there with flowers in hand. The princesses were mesmerized by this grand welcome.

The palace was consistent of nearly hundreds of mini palaces And the main palace was present at the centre, whose top most part was visible from any corner of Ayodhya.

The princesses looked everywhere. All attention were on them. Every eye had respect, love and hope for them, that they were going to nourish Ayodhya just like the current queens.
