Indrajit was one of the most powerful warriors in the Ramayana, yet the story of his death involves three women whose roles are often overlooked. One was killed before Lakshman, Vibhishan revealed, could discover the truth. Another was believed to have slept for 14 years to protect her husband’s duty. The third watched her husband’s severed head become part of a story that continues to fascinate devotees. Their names were Maya Sita, Urmila and Sulochana. Behind Lakshman’s victory lay a story of illusion, sacrifice and a wife’s courage that deserves to be remembered.
