Journalist Mrinalini Rao is on an investigative trail to discover whether Padmavati, the Queen of Chittor, actually existed or was only a legend created by poets.

Who was Padmavati, the Queen of Chittor? What does history tell of her? Where did she come from? What kind of life did she lead?

How did she have the courage to jump willingly into fire?

Mrinalini goes to Chittorgarh to discover the truth.

What does she really discover?

I had a hard time understanding the narration. Did not get past chapter one. I cannot really comment on the storyline.

Heard to understand.

This is a retelling of the legend of Padmavati or Rani Padmini, told as a framed story as a modern day journalist searches for the truth behind the legend.

The story was well told.

While the audio performance itself was wonderful, the editing left much to be desired. In multiple places there were repetitions of the same phrase, or strange pauses. Where there had been a dropped line re-recorded and inserted, the difference in the audio was obvious.

Great story, mistakes in audio
