This is the King Aja and his nymph wife Indumati.. the king had fallen in love with the celestial nymph from Indra's court but the king of the demigods did not want one of his precious nymphs to leave the court and go live with the humans, hence he kept a condition.. he told Indu that she could marry the prince only if she surrenders her immortality!! Indra had thought this would dissuade her from leaving but he was surprised when Indu decided to trade off her immortality to get the love of her life and went ahead and married Aja.. the two of them spent a lifetime together and finally Indra pleased with their love and committment granted them the wish to leave Earth together at the end of their life and grace his court in the heavens..

That’s a very endearing story, there’s nothing more beautiful than love and happiness that’s simmered over a lifetime. And they look very content...you really captured that! Wonderful job!

sounds like a great love story. it’s too bad things don’t happen like that in real life.... dispite my greatest efforts, i cannot help but think of what it might be like to have a relationship. i’ve never been graced with this experience. the funny thing is, should i ever have this joy. half the people i know would die of heart attacks because they are so used to hearing me say "i hate people" wich is a general understatement. i just hate stupid and annoying people....

:-) Vineet Aggarwal replies: "Thats astonishing!! i mean i know people r generally selfish and self-centerd.. but m sure u must have met someone good enough sometime 2"

What a touching picture and story! When did King Aja rule, or is his reign lost in the mists of history? All married couples should love each other into their old age- even forever! it is a beautiful thing. Lynn’s parents just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, and we will be married 23 years now. And the poor thing keeps putting up with me! she must really love me!

7 Vineet Aggarwal replies: "Wow thats incredible!!! please congratulate ur in-laws on my behalf and I’m sure u guys r gonna follow their footsteps too 2

It is difficult to segregate history from mythology in India u know.. King Aja belongs to the Solar Dynasty whose origins are from the Sun-god himself.. he was the great grandfather of Lord Rama.. according to the astronomical references in the Ramayan, Rama lived somewhere in the 7th millenium BC.. so thats the closest we can get to establishing some timeline for Aja’s reign..
