Abstract

The daughter from a wishing tree and The First Clone in the world are the two topics extracted from the anthology “The Daughter from a wishing tree The unusual tales about women in Mythology.” This thesis concerns the untold stories of two characters, Ashokasundari and Lord Shani Dev. The first untold story deals with the unaware Daughter of Lord Shiva and Parvati, Ashokasundari. Her presence lightens Parvati’s unbearable darkness of life. Meanwhile, Lord Shani dev’s mother, Chaya, was the first clone in the world. Due to that reason, he went through many heartbreaks. He was a tremendous soul, and thus he became The Lord of Justice.
