As the royal procession entered the heart of Ayodhya, the air buzzed with anticipation. Seated atop the elegantly adorned elephant, Krishneshwari clutched the intricate silk of her garment, her wide eyes reflecting both awe and confusion.

As the procession drew closer to the royal palace, the crowd erupted in a frenzy of excitement. Flowers rained down upon Krishneshwari, showering the princess with petals of fragrant blossoms. Rice grains, symbols of prosperity, were tossed into the air, creating a shimmering curtain that veiled the procession. The cheers of the ecstatic populace rose to a crescendo, echoing through the streets of Ayodhya.

Rounding a corner, the throngs parted to reveal an imposing statue of Rameshwari. Standing as tall as the mountains, the statue gleamed with pure gold, the sunlight reflecting off its surface like a thousand suns igniting the air with divine brilliance. Majestic and formidable, the goddess’s visage radiated an aura of fierce benevolence, her eyes seeming to pierce through the very fabric of reality.

Krishneshwari gazed upon the statue, her breath catching in her throat. The sheer scale of the statue was awe-inspiring. It was so colossal that she couldn't even properly look into its eyes, feeling dwarfed by its magnificence. The glory of the statue was palpable, radiating an aura of power that seemed to permeate the very air.

In the shadow of Rameshwari’s majestic form, she felt achingly small, a mere flicker of a flame before an inferno. As she beheld the statue, a strange sensation washed over Krishneshwari. Goosebumps erupted on her skin, and a shiver ran down her spine. She felt small, insignificant, as if under the scrutiny of the Rameshwari herself. The statue, with its serene gaze, seemed to be assessing her, judging her, weighing her worth. Krishneshwari felt a sudden wave of insecurity.

Rameshwari had conquered kingdoms, inspired generations, and left an indelible mark on history. Krishneshwari, on the other hand, felt like a mere child, lost in the shadows of her illustrious predecessor. She had spent her days studying, learning, but what had she achieved ? Nothing.

As the procession moved forward, Krishneshwari sat in silence, her gaze fixed on the ground, her heart heavy with a sense of inadequacy. They finally entered the grand courtyard of the Ayodhya palace.

The entire courtyard was transformed into a bed of flowers. Petals rained down from the balconies, creating a mesmerizing spectacle where only a vibrant canopy of colors could be seen.

Majestic elephants knelt down, their trunks swaying gently. Attendants, dressed in vibrant silks, extended their hands towards Krishneshwari, assisting her in descending from the palanquin. As she stepped down, she was greeted by a thunderous applause from the assembled crowd.

"HAIHEYA-SAMRAT KI JAI HO !"

"MAHARANI AARVI KI JAI HO !"

"RAJKUMARI KRISHNESHWARI KI JAI HO !"

The sight of the cheering masses, the vibrant colors, and the overwhelming grandeur of the welcome overwhelmed Krishneshwari. She felt a strange disconnect, a feeling of being an outsider looking in at a celebration that did not truly belong to her.

Despite the overwhelming emotions, Krishneshwari raised her chin, her gaze steady. She walked towards her parents, maintaining composure. Dilip and Aarvi, their faces beaming with pride, greeted their daughter with warm smiles. The royal family, led by Kulguru Vedamurti, made their way to ascend the grand staircase.

The Raghuvanshis and Haiheyavanshis met at the threshold of the grand palace. Vishrutvaan and his queens welcomed Dilip and Aarvi with warm smiles and gracious gestures. However, the gaze of every individual, from the king to the humblest servant, was drawn towards Krishneshwari. They saw not just a princess, but the reincarnation of Rameshwari, the legendary conqueror.

The weight of their expectations, of the hopes and dreams of an entire kingdom, settled upon the young princess. Krishneshwari, still grappling with the weight of expectations, looked up to meet the gaze of King Vishrutvaan. And then, to her astonishment, the entire court fell to their knees. The kings and queens, the princes, the ministers and courtiers, all bowed their heads in reverence, offering their respects to the young princess.

Krishneshwari was taken aback. She was used to kings and emperors bowing before her, acknowledging her divine status. But this was different. She couldn't put a finger on it, but this felt different. The overwhelming display of reverence, the sheer scale of their devotion, left her speechless.

Vishrutvaan, his voice filled with reverence, said, "Padhariye Devi Rajkumari. Ayodhya mei aapka punah swagat hai."

Krishneshwari, still processing the overwhelming display of reverence, simply smiled and walked ahead. She didn't understand the significance of his words, especially what he meant by saying she was welcome once again. As she walked through the opulent halls of the Ayodhya palace, she couldn't shake off the feeling that she was walking into a destiny that had already been written.
