Tara/ Scheherazade


 * Appearance :She was a tall woman, bronze complexioned with jet black hair. She had large attractive doe-eyesand a voluptuous body. She was a gorgeous woman.


 * 1) Before meeting Shiva and Gopal in Pariha: Tara was a student of Maharishi Bhrigu. She worked at the Gurukul. She loved Brahaspati, who was the chief scientist of Mount Mandar (the somras producing factory of Meluha) which in-turn made him the chief scientist of Meluha itself. Maharishi Bhrigu decided to give Tara's hand in marriage to Brahaspati. But before their marriage Brahaspati approached Maharishi Bhrigu on matters concerning somras and they had to go to Pariha to the Vayuputras, the tribe of Lord Rudra. After they went to Pariha, Brahaspati's proposal was declined by the Vayuputras and he returned to Meluha. Tara ,however stayed in Pariha according to the orders of her guru. After Brahaspati returned to Meluha he recieved a letter telling that Tara was missing. This however was not true. It was a threat to Brahaspati to keep quiet about the somras. She had actually taken on an identity of a Parihan and had changed her name to Scheherazade. This happened on just before Shiva appeared on the scene. Tara changed her identity on the advice of Lord Mithra(who happened to be Shiva's uncle before he became the Mithra).
 * While Shiva and Gopal were in Pariha: Tara had come to know that mount mandar was destroyed by Nagas and with that Brahaspati was killed. What she didn't know was that it had been all a part of plan to destroy the somras and that Brahaspati was alive. She wished to help the Neelkanth who's job was to destoy the evil, because it was what Brahaspati wanted and she was also helping out Lord Mithra.Shiva first noticed Tara in a corner of the guesthouse lobby when Bahmandokht glanced at her and recognised her being an Indian though in traditional Parihan garb. At night, when Shiva and Gopal had had their dinner, she knocked on their rooms door, she had been sent there by Lord Mithra. When Shiva opened the door, she saw him with an sword and asked him to sheath it. She was the one who suggested that Shiva be in the background and Gopal ask for the Daivi Astras. She also suggested that it should be to give justice to Lord Rudra's laws. But, Shiva came to know who she really was. He also told her that Brahaspati is alive and he is with the Neelkanth. He decides to take Tara with him to India. After the meeting the trio along with some scientists to setup the Pashupatiastra leave for India.


 * After coming back to India: When the trio first arrived in Lothal port, Tara noticed Brahaspati on the vantage point of the fort wall. He also noticed her and ran down the stairs leading to the dock. they embraced each other happy tears running down their faces. As Kali's ship docked in the port, they all came to know that Sati is away visiting Devagiri. Shiva ordered the troops leaving Lothal in a few hours. When they reached Devagiri they were struck with the new's of Satis death. Tara didn't know Sati personally but her heart went sad for Shiva.Tara also supported Shiva in the use of the pashupatiastra. She knew the Parihan scientists and had them setup the nuclear fission weapon. She later joined Shiva and the others at Mount Kailash.
