The Great Epic Of Ramayana draws the journey of Rama's quest to reunite with his beloved wife, Sita

India is the birthplace of the world's two most influential epics- The Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The epic is famous throughout South and Southeast Asia. Ramayana speaks in detail about the life of the ideal man who walked the earth, Lord Rama and his selfless endeavors to rescue his kidnapped wife, Sita, from the clutches of the power-hungry demon, Ravana. En route, it succeeds in depicting several Hindu cultural lessons. The Ramayana is so famous that, to date, it has been rewritten several times, and each of these renditions has a local flavour. The retellings bring new perspectives, adding to the much-celebrated concept of "Unity in Diversity" in India.


Rama was the oldest child of the incredible ruler Dasharatha. The divine beings had announced that he was brought into the world to overcome the devil ruler Ravana. He is viewed as the seventh manifestation of the extraordinary god, Vishnu. Rama's stepmother, Kaikeyi, needed to push her son, Bharata, as the primary beneficiary of the throne of King Dasharatha; Rama was the oldest, and the honour should have been bestowed on him. Kaikeyi asked for the help of her significant other to grant the wish he had guaranteed her and constrained Dasharatha, who couldn't backpedal his vows to his better half — - to oust Rama for quite a long time. Rama's sibling Lakshman and his wife, Sita, demanded to go into exile with him, and they left together. Dasharatha passed away from distress, and Bharata endeavoured to convince his sibling to return. Rama was bound not to backpedal on his promise. Bharata swore to control the kingdom in Rama's name until his return. 



Rama, Sita, and Lakshman meandered in the backwoods until Rama was seen by an evil soul who became hopelessly enamoured with him. She spoke to Ravana, her brother, the evil presence on earth around then, for help. Ravana chose to seize Sita, the wife of Rama.


After returning and finding Sita gone, Rama was inconsolable. Joined by his brother Lakshman, he went looking for her. On the way, the two killed a devil whose freed soul advised them to seek Sugriva's assistance, the monkey-ruler. The siblings searched out the lord and assisted him with recovering control of his realm, which his stepbrother had usurped. In appreciation, Sugriva committed his militaries and his best soldier — Hanuman, the child of the God of Wind — to the mission to recover Sita. Hanuman found Sita's area and visited her there, consoling her that Rama would save her. He recommended that a tremendous extension to the island be built to permit the attack of Lanka. After incredible fights and demonstrations of chivalry, the attack was finished, and Ravana was crushed. Sita was saved.
