In the next few episodes we delve into the early stories of Ramayan.

Namaskar. We come to the final episode of our Raghuvansham series of stories. We explore the life of the son of Raja Sudarshan, Raja Agnivarna.

Raja Agnivarna was an indulgent king who was attracted to leisure, art, and music. While he wasn't the most meritorious in nature, the dynasty overall was blessed with greatness and thereby the kingdom still prospered under him.

Even after his death, Raghuvansham continued and had several great kings that followed who have an honorary mention in this final episode of the series.

Namaskar. In this mini episode, we get to know of Raja Sudarshan, several generations after Raja Kush.

Sudarshan took the throne at a very young age, but, nevertheless, was worthy to rule the world. We get a description of his qualities in the episode.

There is very limited modern literature on this King and hence the imagery shared for this episode is curated and may not be most accurate.

Namaskar. We continue our stories from Raghuvansham. We look at the next generation of Shri Ram - the eldest (amongst all cousins) - Kush - takes over Ayodhya.

Kush restores Ayodhya and at the back of an incident meets Kumudwait - the serpant kingdom princess.
