"After an emotional good bye, the Palkis of Janki, Mandavi, Urmila and Shrutkirti left for Ayodhya." Krishna said.
"I am sure the entire Ayodhya would've been decorated like a bride." Bheem said.
"Indeed Bhrata Bheem, the entire Ayodhya was so well decorated that it felt that swarg had come on earth." Krishna smiled.
------
The entire Ayodhya showered flowers and bowed to their King, princes and their brides as they went past them. Their happiness knew no bounds.
At the palace the queens of Dashrath and the ladies of Raghuvansh Kutumb were eagerly waiting to welcome the new brides of their kul.
The princes got down their horses and the Palkis were also put down. The eyes of the ladies eagerly waited to get a glimpse of the new Kulvadhus.
The princes went up to the palkis of their respective wives and helped them get out. All the ladies of Raghuvansh Kutumb sighed in bliss seeing the princes with their princesses.
At forefront walked Janki and Shri Ram, behind them Bharat and Mandavi, after them Laxman and Urmila and lastly Shatrughan and Shrutkirti.
Although the splendor of all the couples were unparalleled, the ladies of Raghuvansh Kutumb couldn't take their eyes off of Janki and Shri Ram.
Seeing the couple who were at the forefront, everyone felt like they were seeing Laxmi-narayan in front of them.
The happiness and joy of the three queens of Dashrath had broken allthe bounds as they welcomed all the newlyweds and showered their blessings.
"Oh Ram Chandra, my son who is like moon, you have brought moonlight with you." Kaikeyi said keeping her hand under Janki's chin.
Janki smiled with lowered gaze, she knew that it was Kaikeyi only who will cause them years of hardships but that doesn't deny her unparalleled love for Shri Ram.
"All our Putravadhus are like moonlight only Jiji." Sumitra smiled cupping the face of Mandavi, Urmila and Shrutkirti.
"Indeed. Raghukul has been blessed. Putro, reach the great hall where the post marriage ceremonies will be conducted in a few moments. Till then allow us to get to know our vadhus." Kaushalya said.
"As you say Mata." The 4 brothers nodded and went to the otherside, to the great hall.
"Come dear." Kaikeyi said putting her arms around Janki and taking her inside.
Sumitra walked with Shrutkirti and Urmila inside while Kaushalya held arms of Mandavi, taking her in.
Inside Manthara was pacing back and forth, cursing and mummering under breath.
"I am the dai-maa of Bharat.... I should've been the first one to welcome him and his bride." Manthara mumbled angrily under her breath.
Suddenly her eyes fell on the queens of Dashrath bringing the new brides and talking to them. Manthara got confused as to who would've be the bride of Bharat.
Seeing Janki along with Kaikeyi, the hunched-back woman wrongly assumed that she would've been Mandavi.
'Ofcourse she would be my Bharat's Mandavi, she is the most beautiful and glorious as well.' Manthara thought.
The old woman chuckled and hurriedly walked towards them.
"Bahurani ! Bahurani !" Manthara excitedly approached them.
Janki raised her brow realising that the old hunchback woman must be Manthara. But she got confused as to why is she approaching her.
"My goodness Bahurani you're so beautiful !" Manthara said.
"Dear, she is Manthara my handmaiden." Kaikeyi said.
"I recognised Matashree." Janki said.
"Oh you recognised me ? How marvellous ! Bahurani I have made several sweets for you ! I will feed you with my own hands !" Manthara said happily.
"I will be very obliged. Thank you." Janki said still a little confused.
"Manthara, first let the vadhus perform the post marriage rituals." Kaikeyi said.
"Ofcourse ! Ofcourse !" Manthara chuckled.
