The Ramayana, one of India’s greatest epics, lovingly unfolds the story of Rama’s life. Ever since its original composition in Sanskrit by Valmiki - possibly over 3,000 years ago - it has grown to be an all-pervasive and hugely – loved part of Indian life and ethos. Millions read it, re-read it, and revere it as a scripture. It is the perennially favourite bedtime story for children. And each autumn, Rama’s victory over the mighty demon-king Ravana is celebrated through plays and dance – dramas in cities, towns and villages across the land. There is much festivy: crackers are exploded, sweets distributed and all houses are lit up in tribute to Rama.
