Savitri and Satyavan: The legend of the princess who outwitted Death

Recommendable! What a lady! "Savitri is so beautiful and pure, she intimidates all the men in the vicinity. When she reaches the age of marriage, no man asks for her hand, so her father tells her to find a husband on her own. She sets out on a pilgrimage for this purpose and finds Satyavan, the son of a blind king ..." Indian story telling is captivating similar to Western ancient stories! See also the respective entry in Wikipedia.
