Abstract
Mythology has possessed a great insight in Indian culture. It portrays the male characters and their goodness and adventures, but it fails to attempts the position of female characters. Some of the Women writers like Chitra Banerjee, Kavitha Kane have revisited the myth and finds the female protagonist. Henceforth they attempt to exhibit the voice of the female characters which are unsung in mythology. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s The Forest of Enchantments portrays Indian mythology in Sita’s perception. It also portrays other female characters who are unheard so far in epic. Divakaruni’s novel The Forest of Enchantments may be rightly called as Sitayana. Divakaruni has changed the vision of Sita in minds of readers from soft and silent woman who is an embodiment of sacrifice to the woman with strong courage with modern thoughts, who finds her identity in her world.
