Squirrel

The legend of ‘Ramayan’ (story of Rama) , is a timeless story passed down from thousands of years.

It celebrates the victory of good over evil.


Legend has it that when the strong and mighty were moving mountains to bridge the island of Srilanka, this creature took it upon itself to be of some use.

A squirrel that could have easily assumed that it was too insignificant to be of any assistance, undeterred wanted to do its bit.

So the story goes that the furry rodent used its tail and back to collect sand from the shore, and dust it off on the bridge that was being built. Performing this cycle with feverish repetitions until it could not move a muscle any more.

Seeing this dedication Lord Ram was so touched that he blessed the squirrel and lovingly caressed its back. Leaving a streak along its hunch, that’s evident to this date.
