The Ramayana describes Mandodari as beautiful, pious, and righteous. She is extolled as one of the Panchakanya ("five virgins"), the recital of whose names is believed to dispel sin. Mandodari was the daughter of Mayasura the King of the Asura (demons), and the apsara (celestial nymphs) Hema. Despite her husband's faults, Mandodari loves him and advises him to follow the path of righteousness. Mandodari repeatedly advises Ravana to return Sita to Rama, but her advice falls on deaf ears. Her love and loyalty to Ravana are praised in the Ramayana. We ll listen to the boon and ban of Mandodari in this episode.

Have you seen the Great Wall of India? Yes, it exists in Rajasthan! The UNESCO World Heritage Site, located near Udaipur, is a fort called Kumbhalgarh. The spectacular structure is known for its long wall on the Aravalli Hills. It is the second largest fort complex in India, right after Chittor Fort.

Built by Rana Kumbha, the Mewar Kingdom ruler back in the 15th century, the beautiful fort sits 1100 m above sea level. It is now open to the public, so you can visit this wonderful place. The fort is 3600 ft tall, and 38 km long covering a vast area. An interesting fact about the fort is that it has some 360 temples, most of which are said to be Jain temples. You will also find step-wells, palaces, gardens, and 700 cannon bunkers. Coming to the wall, it runs for 36 km, and is said to be the second longest continuous wall in the world, right after the Great Wall of China. The massive wall meanders through the hilly landscape, and is a spectacular sight from the fort. A wonderful place for some photography. The fort was one of the main bastions of hope for rulers of the region during times of danger. It was, however, breached once during its lifetime. Some parts of the wall are quite wide, so much so that eight horses can ride through.

The fort consists of a famous Ganesh Temple that you can visit, and it is considered to be one of the earliest temples. Also, there is a Shiva Temple called Neel Kanth Mahadeva Temple, which was built in 1458 CE.
