Shankar Sita Ansuya · 1965Shankar Sita Ansuya
1965
MovieDrama
The film blends classic tales from the Shiv Puran and the Ramayana. It begins with the celestial powers of Sati Anusuya, which lead the trinity of gods (Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh) to test her virtue, resulting in them temporarily turning into infants at her ashram. Later, the narrative transitions into key events from the Ramayana. Goddess Parvati (Uma) doubts whether Lord Rama is truly an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. She tests Rama by disguising herself as Sita, but Rama respectfully addresses her as Mother, proving his divinity. The second half follows the core events of the epic, including the battle with Ravana, Sita's agnipariksha (trial by fire), her exile, the birth of Lava and Kush, and her eventual return to Mother Earth.
