Description Saranyu, daughter of the divine craftsman Tvashtra, is wedded to Vivasvan, lord of the Sun—her beloved, yet the source of her torment. Blinded by his radiance, she forges her own shadow, Chhaya— and in doing so, sets into motion a cosmic conflict between light and darkness, duty and desire. Half Deva, half Daitya, Saranyu’s journey becomes one of rebellion and self-discovery. Torn between brilliance and shade, she reclaims her voice, her power, and her place in the order of the cosmos. Blending the grandeur of Vedic myth with the intimacy of a woman’s awakening, Saranyu reimagines the forgotten wife of the Sun—not as a consort, but as a creator, a mother, and the unseen force behind the rhythm of existence. This is her story—of love, defiance, and the choices that birthed the civilization. Publisher : Rupa Publications ; Paperback ; Pages : 216 ; Author : Saiswaroopa Iyer
