This book discusses the story of Padmini, who valiantly stood up against Ala-ud-din Khilji. She was the queen of Chittoor. Her virtues were very famous at that time, and her boldness and presence of mind helped her face Khilji.

This book talks about Padmini, the queen of Chittoor which is in Rajasthan. It is not be confused with the one in Andhra Pradesh's Rayalseema region. The book starts off with the minister describing the beauty of Padmini, who was the princess of Sinhala, in present day Sri Lanka. The country was not partitioned as it is now during that time. The part where Pandit Raghav Chetan used sorcery to tell the phases of the moon made me angry, as he was at fault and he actually had no right to use sorcery. On top of all this, when he would not acknowledge his mistake but take revenge on the king instead of acknowledging his mistake. I felt disturbed to see The Rajput king getting tortured by Alauddin Khalji, the sultan of Delhi. It was a really brave decision by the queen to commit jauhar but it was quite disturbing as well. The birth of Padmini could have been mentioned. Apart from this, the book was great.

Beautiful story

Simply told tale in a lucid manner, there were many more nuances but it stuck to the core of the matter.
