    Sudha Murty, a prolific Indian author, delves into the intricacies of family relationships in her novels, offering profound insights into the dynamics, conflicts, and evolution of familial bonds. This paper conducts a comparative analysis of family relationships depicted in three of Sudha Murty's notable novels: Mahashweta, Gently Falls the Bakula, and Dollar Bahu. By examining the themes, characterizations, and narrative techniques employed in these works, this paper aims to elucidate the diverse portrayals of family relationships in the selected fiction of Sudha Murty. Dollar Bahu delves into the complexities of familial relationships, juxtaposing traditional Indian values with modern aspirations. Mahashweta tackles societal stigmas surrounding vitiligo while addressing themes of identity, resilience, and love. Meanwhile, Gently Falls the Bakula scrutinizes the compromise between personal ambition and marital commitments, highlighting the sacrifices made by the protagonist for professional development of her husband. Through rich character development and vivid storytelling, Murty intricately weaves together these narratives, inviting readers to contemplate timeless dilemmas.
