Abstract

The play "Uttar Ramacharita" written by Mahakavi Bhavabhuti depicts the sequel of Ramayana, which includes the events after the coronation of Rama, Sita's exile, the birth of Luv-Kush and the reunion of Rama-Sita. The characters of this play are not only of mythological importance, but their qualities and thoughts inspire even in today's society. Shri Rama is a symbol of ideal leadership and justice, he sacrifices his personal pleasures for the welfare of the people and takes difficult decisions to protect justice. In today's time, Rama's character teaches us that a true leader should rise above his personal interest and work for the welfare of the society and the nation. Mother Sita is a symbol of womanly respect and tolerance. Sita has to suffer exile due to the suspicion of society, but she maintains patience and self-respect. She raises Luv-Kush by becoming self-reliant. In today's time, Sita's character gives us the identity of a strong woman with self-respect and self-reliance.
