"Ramayanam is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. The epic narrats the life of Rama the legendary prince of the Kosala Kingdom. it follows his fourteen-year exile to the forest by his father King Dasharatha, on request of his step-mother Kaikeyi. His travels across forests in India with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana, followed by the kidnapping of his wife by Ravana, the great king of Lanka, resulting in a war with him, and Rama's eventual return to Ayodhya to be crowned king. it is the most sacred book, and is read by millions of people every year."
