Before exile.
Before the forest paths and golden deer.
There was a moment when Ram was called, and Bharata stood still.

In this evocative episode of Tales of Itihasa, we explore the tension, love, and purpose behind Sage Vishwamitra’s request to take Ram — and the silent transformation of Bharata, the brother who stayed behind to lead in his absence.

This reimagines a rarely told moment in the Ramayana — where dharma is questioned, fear speaks louder than power, and the seeds of greatness are sown not in battle… but in quiet responsibility.

Featuring poetic storytelling, deep emotional insight, and a fresh lens on one of India's most iconic epics.
