Women excelled as an artist, actor, warrior, doctor, teacher, etc. They were also few who became reason to bring reformation in the society along with few other intellects’ for better living. Love at times is seen as the main cause for such reform in the society, it can be love for person, people, or nation. Shiva’s love for Sati changed the life of vikrama in the novel, this change and reformation bought new life in the people suffering as vikrama. Improvements in the people, community, society, can definitely lead in growth of the nation. But one needs to know the difference between wrong and right, and follow dharma to win over any evil. The author has very artistically described the Shiva and Sati the main characters of the novel. Sati having every skill of a warrior and a great heart of sacrifice just to follow the rules laid by Lord Ram, nothing is important than Dharma for her and no one can escape their fate by not following dharma, Shiva’s journey from a normal person to Lord Neelkanth gives him strentgh to fight evil. This paper looks into how Shiva and Sati sustained dharma and Shiva proves that with love one can overcome the supremacy of social power. Thus representing social reformation for love and feminine virtuosity in Amish Tripathi's first Novel "The Immortal of Meluha"
