When the spirited and sassy ghost of Kadambari Devi—Rabindranath Tagore’s enigmatic sister-in-law—leaps across time, she finds herself guiding two iconic women from Tagore’s fiction: Charu and Bimala. Both brilliant, restless, and caught between love, intellect, and duty, they struggle to find their place in a world that is changing faster than they are allowed to.
As the three women debate, challenge, and inspire one another, they discover a surprising truth: the world may have moved from the 19th century to the 21st, but the inner battles women fight—for independence, desire, and meaning—remain strikingly familiar.
Adapted from Isheeta Ganguly’s internationally acclaimed dram-com musical Three Women: A Musical Theatre, this graphic novel offers a bold, visually immersive reimagining of Tagore’s heroines. Blending literature, history, and modern reflection, it celebrates the enduring power of Tagore’s women, and their quest to balance purpose with passion.
