There was no one as beautifully carved and aristocratic yet as delicate as a lotus petal and as charming as Bhaishmaki Shree Rukmini in the whole world ,in the Dwapar yug . As she was no one but the reincarnation of goddess Mahalakshmi , the eterna...
[According to the vedas and other religious sources , our beloved krishnatmika ( soul of Krishna ) was born in Kundinapur ( now referred to as Kaundinyapuram ) ,Vidarbha, Maharashtra and the maharashtrians worship and love her as their daughter , Rakhumai, i shall be representing her sketches inthe same way a royal woman of maharashtra would do , through my pen-picture. I shall also try to include few marathi words as and when necessary ( please feel free to rectify me as i'm not from her land ) . Thank you ]
10 years had passed , full of delight and merry , as her 3 elder brothers got tied to the strings of relation called marriage and they brought 3 beautiful princesses of Dakshinaatya ( thethen south India ) ,thus Vidarbha was now more reknowned as one of the greatest strengths ruling in Aaryavart , in terms of its allies , wealth and most predominantly as one of the shelters of valiant kings like Jarasandha, the ruler of Magadh ; Chediraj Damaghosh, and Mathuranaresh Kans.
And the whole Kundinapur, the capital of Vidarbha,was being decked as the auspicious day of ascent of Mahalakshmi as their beloved princess was quite close and she was not a toddler anymore, every single subject longed to see her, to cherish her presence , her auspicious presence as it marked the onset of fortune and well-being to the whole kingdom , to them. The houses of the subjects were decorated with floral garlands ,diyas, rangolis, lights, the sweetmeats were being distributed here and there . Afterall , it was the 16 th birthday of their Shree, their pride.
Inside the royal abode, Rukmi was busy in supervising every arrangement and was instructing every servent of them to keep everything organised ,just then Rukmakeshi alongwith Rukmabahu approached beckoning him . He turned to see their happy faces and to his surprise , he found Rukmabahu carrying the garland of sacred pink lotus , that very flower their sister adored the most.
" So you two had gone in plucking the lotuses and I was looking for you like hell ! Now pass the garland to me as the punishment and I'll offer them to Rakhma on my own" Rukmi passed a puckish smile to them.
"Apologies ,Jyeshtha, for disheartening you, but we're extremely sorry and cannot help but disobey your order ! As of now ,we are going to visit Rakhma and offer these to her ! You cannot always please her to be her most beloved brother, we're lining up next to you ! " Rukmakeshi smirked.
"And yeah, for your kind reminder , you are charged with supervision of the decoration , and I and bhrata keshi will take the resposibilities of the rest , so you better carry on your business, if you don't wanna get scolded by my hon'able bhavachi patni, Sulekha,do you?" Rukmabahu passed a sheepish grin and both of them rushed to Vaidarbhi's chamber , to save them from him🥲🥲🥲.
Sulekha , the wife of Rukmi ,was busy in decorating Rukmini's magnificient chamber on her own , she was so humble and well-behaved to all, especially to her beloved Rakhma , found a peacock's feather beneath her pillow , so elegantly yet carefully kept . She just smiled to herself , after keeping the beautiful feather on the bed , she tuned to see her two sisters Chandreya & Divya with their husbands Rukmakeshi & Rukmabahu standing over there, grinning sheepishly. Before she could ask them anything , she was shot by a barrel of words,
" Bhabhi , look , it's been her 16th b'day🥰🥰🥰, and she is still ignorant of her brothers and theif wives except jyeshtha and you , such a discrimination, that's why we tried to convince her in putting little faith in us and showing us the sisterhood and affectionation and love we need so badly 🥺🥺🥺🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒" youngest Rukmanetra whinned , running towards them .
"Oh my! So y'all have gathered here to kill me with your complaints! Hey Girija Maa, please take me with you or give a me some peace "Sulekha tried controlling her laughter and dramatically rolled her eyes.
"Akka, leave them and their tamasha & let us go, our Rakhma shall be waiting for us " huffed Chandreya as she impatiently thumbed her feet on the floor, clearly annoyed at the brother's regular melodrama.
"And also Tai, i have kept the sandalwood-turmeric paste ready along with the bath powder , now quickly let us reach the snanagriham , also I have made the Puran-poli, halwa, mithai, puri (s), kheer for her with my own hands, so you don't have to worry about them. " Divya joined them as the trio sister left the room.
On reaching the royal washroom, they quickly yet gently smeared the fragrant bathing paste on her body , and poured the irresistibly smelling rose water on her , followed by the milk , adding more charm to her , and wrapped her in the drying cloths and let her wear the simple yet elegant reddish pink Nauvari saree, that was simply enhancing her beautiful embodiment , elegantly she draped it , and let her hair get air dried.
The trio held their breathe as Shree turned to them , water dripping from her thick , black lusciously curly hair, her face radiating the glow thousand times outshining the pleasant beams of moon , her large lotus eyes covered with black kohl, intensely provoking to get lost in them , her pink cheeks fluffed with gentle smile , her too sharp nose emitting the pride to be with her lovely family members , her rosy lips holding the cute , forever childish beautiful smile ,adding more brightening effect to her moon-face.
Their trance was broken as she spoke in her honey -like voice ,"Bhratrijaya(s) , why are you all looking at me in this way? Is there something on my face 🤕🤕🤕 ? Please tell me , i shall go and wash it off " ,Rukmini was about to leave , wondering her hand on her always illuminating face, adorned with the Chandrabindu in between her two rainbow-like eyebrows . Divya caught her hands , which were like the slender stalk beneath the lotus , submerged in water .
Her facial skin went crimson red as she heard their words in chorus " You look breathtaking , Rakhme,despite we are ladies , we still can't take our eyes off you, you are not wearing any jewellery , yet you are radiating just like the Kaustava gem, adorned in the crown of Lord Narayana" , to which she had cupped her face, concealing her blushed face from her bhabhi(s).
