[birds chirping]
Impossible!
Sage, is there an impediment to the wedding of our children?
[sighing]
Lord, there is no impediment.
I have never seen such an interesting match in my life before.
All the 36 merits match.
- [conch-shell playing] - [theme song playing]
It seems as if
Devi Sita and Shri Rama have been a couple
in previous lifetimes.
[joyful music playing]
The auspicious day for this wedding
is three days later.
Thank you, sage.
Also,
please tell us the auspicious date for the wedding of my other sons.
Auspicious date?
[chuckling]
Lord, what date are you talking about?
Mahadeva already fated their union.
The whole universe is ready to witness the much-awaited moment.
That moment
is the auspicious date of Shri Rama and Devi Sita's wedding.
There can't be a more auspicious date than that.
All your four sons will get married
on the same day and in the same wedding mandapa.
I'll make the arrangements
for this wedding!
[damaru playing]
We, four brothers
will get married on the same day and in the same mandapa!
Rama, Lord Shiva is so benevolent.
[conch-shell playing]
'Your Majesty, it's my Rama's wedding.'
'Please don't snatch this moment from me.'
'I want to see Rama take circumambulations.'
'Bharata's mother will surely be present'
'at my son Bharata's wedding.'
[melancholic music playing]
All my four sons
are getting married at the same auspicious time.
It's heartening, sage.
However,
I'm in a bit of a fix
because of this.
[suspenseful music playing]
[conch-shell playing]
How could the auspicious date of our wedding
be a dilemma for you, Father?
Rama, the wedding date isn't the reason for my dilemma.
My promise is the reason
for my dilemma.
Your Mother Kaikeyi
wanted to witness your wedding
but I couldn't bring her to the wedding due to
my responsibility of protecting Ayodhya.
I made a promise to her
to pacify her.
"Bharata's mother will surely be present
at my son Bharata's wedding."
How will my promise be fulfilled now?
By the time the message for this wedding reaches Ayodhya,
the wedding day will arrive.
Father, you needn't break your promise.
The reason is that one of my mothers
will be present here to witness my wedding.
The moment
Rama won the 'svayamvara'
and chose Janaka's daughter
as his wife,
that moment I found a mother in her.
[theme song playing]
As per the shastras
and Ayodhya's custom,
the elder brother's wife is like a mother
to her brother-in-law.
[theme song playing]
My mother will be present during my wedding
in addition to witnessing the discussions for my marriage already.
[mellow music playing]
Mother, Rama
has always given me a father's affection and protection.
Will you continue to bless your son
in the same way?
[joyful music playing]
Bharata, duty isn't just reading shastras
but practising them in our lives.
You are as pure as the relationship
you formed with me today.
Bharata.
Get up, Bharata.
[vocalising]
If one has a brother like you,
nobody requires a child to fulfil a child's duty.
[vocalising]
As per the shastras,
a mother is never biased against her children.
Sister-in-law Sita, will you bless only Bharata and not us?
[intriguing music plays]
[joyful music playing]
[conch-shell playing]
King of Mithila,
please make arrangements for the weddings of Dasharatha's sons
and the daughters of Mithila.
[theme song playing]
[ethereal music playing]
[theme song playing]
May God bless you with a long life.
King Dasharatha,
he is my younger brother, Kushadhvaja.
- Greetings. - She is his wife, Chandrabhaga.
They are Mandavi and Shrutakirti's parents.
Okay.
It's a pleasure to meet you two.
Your daughters are supremely talented.
Kushadhvaja, I apologise
for snatching your right.
You two weren't present here
and we couldn't contact you two.
I finalised the marriages of your daughters
without your consent.
- Marriage! - Marriage?
Janaka, that's your right.
Yes, Brother-in-law.
Though I gave birth to Shrutakirti and Mandavi,
you raised them.
We were constantly travelling to attain knowledge.
So you two have the right to them more than us.
Nobody can decide a better future for our daughters than you.
You arrived on time.
The wedding procession has already begun in the kingdom.
'- Hail Siya-Rama! - Hail Siya-Rama!'
'- Hail Ganga! - Hail Ganga!'
'- Hail Mahadeva! - Hail Mahadeva!'
- Hail Siya-Rama! - Hail Siya-Rama!
- Hail Ganga! - Hail Ganga!
- Hail Mahadeva! - Hail Mahadeva!
[theme song playing]
[conch-shell playing]
[ethereal music playing]
[singing a song]
Rama!
[joyful music playing]
Rama, please get ready.
From today onwards, the wedding rituals will begin for you.
Yes, Rama.
Lakshmana, it's not just true for Rama but for all of us.
Hmm.
It's surely an auspicious moment.
Lord, there is no impediment.
- Finally, he'll tie the knot! - Rama!
[joyful music playing]
Sita, you must be elated.
You found a husband like Dasharatha's son Rama.
And your brothers-in-law already consider you a mother.
Her brothers-in-law are going to be our husbands.
We'll have to touch Sita's feet along with them.
In a way, that's good.
After we reach Ayodhya,
we won't miss our mother's place.
Sita, what's the matter?
You became serious suddenly.
I just remembered Mother and Father.
[gloomy music playing]
They raised us lovingly for years.
Suddenly, all of us will leave them.
[pensive music playing]
They know that it's important
to marry off their children
to continue the cycle of life.
But it must be painful to let go
of a part of one's soul.
Father must be heartbroken right now.
[pensive music playing]
I'm pained for sure.
[gloomy music playing]
But I'm overjoyed to get sons-in-law like Dasharatha's sons.
Although
your mother is a bit overwhelmed.
She was worried about marrying off one of her daughters
but suddenly,
all her four daughters
will leave simultaneously.
[melancholic music playing]
You four aren't ready yet.
We have to go and get the sacred mud from the riverbank.
You are still here.
We have to make so many arrangements and do rituals.
Let's go.
Mother, all of us are ready.
Only you need to get ready.
Mother,
you taught us to make 'rangoli' when we were children.
Shall we do it again?
[mellow music playing]
The four lines of the swastika
are akin to we, four sisters.
The lines going in the opposite directions
are akin to our in-law's family.
The lines could move in any direction
but they never forget
their epicentre.
The epicentre for the four of us
is you, Mother.
We could go anywhere
but we'll never forget
your teachings
and the values you gave us.
[vocalising]
Though your daughters are going away from Mithila,
nobody can remove Mithila
from our hearts, Mother.
As we aren't going away,
you needn't be worried.
[melancholic music playing]
Let's go to the riverbank.
The four sons-in-law of the queen of Mithila must be waiting for her.
If we are late, the queen will scold us.
[mantra chanting]
[conch-shell playing]
Let's go to the riverbank.
[mellow music playing]
[joyful music playing]
[song playing]
[song continues playing]
The groom and the bride
will invoke Mother Ganga
and collect the sacred mud from the bottom of the river
and fill it in this vessel.
Later, the groom will give it to the bride.
[joyful music playing]
[handbell ringing]
[theme song playing]
[theme song continues playing]
[song playing]
Our relationship will stay pure
like the mud collected from the bottom of the river.
It'll never be sullied.
I'll always love you
and respect you truly.
This mud has become even more sacred
because it's touched by Shri Rama who rid
Mother Ahalya and Tataka of their pain.
The mud is scared because of some other reason.
The brilliant Bhumija
who picked up Shiva's bow as an eight-year-old
and rid Mithila
of all its pain collected this mud.
[song playing]
Dasharatha's sons, please come forward.
[joyful music playing]
[mantra chanting]
[exhilarating music playing]
