Riverside meeting leads to nuptial celebrations
The royal town crier today announced the upcoming marriage of His Royal Highness King Shantanu to the river goddess Lady Ganga. The celebration promises to be the social event of the era. The king was taking his morning chariot ride, when he espied the Lady Ganga tending to the fauna on the banks of her namesake river, the Ganga.
"The chemistry was instantaneous," said the King's charioteer. "It was as if they knew each other from beyond the mortal realm."
The Lady Ganga is widely believed to be the daughter of the Creator Brahma himself, and most astrologers have predicted great happiness and prosperity for the kingdom. A few astrologers, however, are troubled by the portents they have seen in skies.
"The alignment of the stars and planets indicates the potential of significant upheaval for our kingdom, that could last not just through our lifetimes, but over the next 3 or 4 generations," claimed one of the doomsayers. Fortunately the naysayers are few, and largely ignored as cracks and charlatans.
"His Majesty has already won great renown on the battlefield and greatly increased the security of our borders," stated the Royal Guru. "It is past time that he take a wife and produce an heir. There are few women in the three realms as illustrious as the Lady Ganga, and their union will surely produce a most worthy heir."
