Sassi Punno
LOVE is eternal, infinite and divine. It has inspired men and women to matchless sacrifice and devotion. Of such sublime love is the story of Sassi and Punno. Bhambhor was a small but charming state. It was there that Sassi, of heavenly beauty, was raised by a childless launderer who lavished all his filial love on her. Punno was a prince of Kutch Makran, so handsome and imposing, that great beauties vied with each other to win his heart - but in vain. Word of Sassi's charms spread far and wide and when it reached Makran, Punno became impatient to feast his eyes on her. In the guise of a trader in musk and attar, he arrived in Bhambhor. It was at first sight for both. But the path of love does not always lie easy. Sassi-Punno is a tale which , for its pathos, will be remembered for ages to come.
