Harishchandra, in Hindu religious texts is the 36th king of theSolar Dynasty, Surya Maharishi Gothram (See: Vivasvan). His legend is
very popular and often told as a benchmark for an ideal life. He was renowned
for his piety and justice. His name is Sanskritfor "having
golden splendour". Harishchandra had two unique qualities. The first
being, he kept his word and never went back on what he uttered as a promise.
The other being, he never uttered a lie in his life.These twin qualities were
tested heavily in his life by various circumstances that led him to penury and separation from his family. But he
stood to his principles in the face of all ordeals and persevered to become a
symbol of courage.
