Echoes in the Liminal

Antharvasam

This narrative delves into the psyche of a woman, traversing her emotional journey as she seeks liberation through a ritual unfolding in the courtyard of her in-laws’ house. As a menstruating woman, societal norms confine Vasuki to the bedroom. However, the enchanting music of the ritual acts as a compelling force, urging her to defy these constraints, break out of her confined space, and immerse herself in the ritual unfolding outside.
