Summary
Dig into the tale of Princess Savitri and her one true love, Satyavan, and the tragic prophecy that entwined their fates forever.--Princess Savitri was benevolent, brilliant, and bright. Her grace was known throughout the land, and many princes and merchants flocked to her family’s palace to seek her hand in marriage. But upon witnessing her blinding splendor in person, the men lost their nerve. Unimpressed with these suitors, she determined to find a husband herself. Iseult Gillespie tells the tale of Savitri and Satyavan.Lesson by Iseult Gillespie, directed by Jagriti Khirwar & Raghav Arumugam.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/savitri-and-satyavan-the-legend-of-the-princess-who-outwitted-death-iseult-gillespieDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/savitri-and-satyavan-the-legend-of-the-princess-who-outwitted-death-iseult-gillespie#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.jagritikhirwar.com/ & https://www.raghavarumugam.com/Sound design: https://www.campstudio.co/----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
