The Mermaid’s Magical Swayamvar- english jalpari story:
Once upon a time, in the vast and beautiful ocean world, there lived a playful and lovely mermaid. She was adored by all the creatures of the sea for her kind nature and joyful spirit. However, her parents, the king and queen of the sea, were worried about finding a suitable groom for their daughter. To seek guidance, they decided to consult the oldest and wisest sea creature, the turtle. With his vast knowledge of the sea, the turtle shared that there were many mysterious sea men hidden beneath the waves. However, they remained in seclusion unless presented with a challenge. Inspired by the turtle’s wisdom, the mermaid’s mother proposed the idea of organizing a swayamvar for their daughter. They would invite all the sea men and hold various competitions to find the most worthy groom. The turtle agreed and promised to spread the news far and wide across the ocean. And so, the announcement of the mermaid’s swayamvar echoed through the ocean depths, reaching every corner and calling forth sea men from near and far. Excitement filled the underwater kingdom as the preparations began for this magical event The Water Fairy couldn’t contain her excitement upon hearing about the swayamvar. Like every other girl, she also dreamed of spending her life with her true love.
Preparations for the mermaid’s swayamvar were in full swing. Exquisite jewelry crafted from unique sea stones adorned the Water Fairy, and her underwater home sparkled with decorations made from vibrant sea plants. But the most crucial part was yet to come – devising challenging tasks to determine the most suitable groom for the Water Fairy. The competition was divided into three stages. In the first phase, the sea men had to showcase their bravery by engaging in combat with each other. Points would be awarded based on their skill and courage. In the second phase, they would demonstrate their intellect by finding the hidden jewelry of the Water Fairy, crafted by skilled crab craftsmen. Finally, in the third stage, their emotional skills would be put to the test.
As the competition began with the resounding call of a mighty whale, seven brave sea men emerged to participate in the swayamvar, each hoping to win the heart of the Water Fairy. In the first phase of the competition, each sea man displayed remarkable bravery, engaging in combat with impressive skills. As the fierce battles ensued, one by one, they were defeated until only one sea man remained victorious. He celebrated his triumph, eager to proceed to the next stage. In the second phase, where the sea men had to showcase their intelligence by finding the hidden jewelry, the same victorious sea man from the first phase emerged triumphant once again. His keen intellect allowed him to locate the jewelry with ease.
Now, it was time for the most crucial stage – testing emotional intelligence. A fish nest was set up in a sea tree, and the sea men were tasked with targeting the fish eggs within it. The sea man who could successfully hit the eggs would win the Water Fairy’s hand in marriage. Once again, the same sea man took aim and skillfully broke all the fish eggs, eliciting celebrations from the surrounding creatures.
However, the wise tortoise reminded everyone to remain calm, as the true winner was yet to be determined. The turtle approached the sea man who had placed second and third in the previous stages. In the third phase of the competition, she chose not to participate and accepted her defeat gracefully, refraining from throwing the javelin. When the tortoise approached him to inquire about his decision, he explained, “I cannot bring harm to any creature with which I have no connection.” Upon hearing this, the turtle declared him the true winner, recognizing the kindness and empathy in his heart. He was deemed the most suitable groom for the mermaid daughter. It was revealed that the question posed in the final phase of the competition was flawed. It was not about spearing the innocent fish, but rather about understanding the value of life and empathy towards all creatures. With the turtle’s announcement, the mermaid agreed to marry the sea man who had shown such compassion. Amidst great celebrations, the mermaid and the sea man were wedded, and he joyfully took her to his world. Thus, this chapter in the sea world concluded with the union of the mermaid and her compassionate groom.
