Ayodhya's Lost Prince: The Ramayana Epic" – Focuses on Rama’s journey and the kingdom of Ayodhya ep -1.

The Ramayana is an ancient Indian epic that holds a central place in Hindu literature and culture. Traditionally attributed to the sage Valmiki, it is a profound narrative composed in Sanskrit that recounts the life and adventures of Prince Rama, who is considered an incarnation of the god Vishnu.

The epic is divided into seven Kandas (books), detailing the heroic journey of Rama from his exile to his triumphant return. The story begins with Rama's life in the kingdom of Ayodhya, where he is the beloved son of King Dasharatha. Due to a palace intrigue, Rama is exiled to the forest for fourteen years, accompanied by his devoted wife Sita and loyal brother Lakshmana.

During their exile, Sita is abducted by the demon king Ravana, leading to a dramatic series of events. Rama, with the help of the monkey god Hanuman and his army of vanaras (monkey soldiers), wages a fierce battle against Ravana to rescue Sita. The epic culminates in the defeat of Ravana, the rescue of Sita, and Rama's eventual return to Ayodhya to reclaim his throne.

The Ramayana is not just a story of heroism and adventure but also explores themes of dharma (duty/righteousness), loyalty, and the ideal conduct of individuals in their roles as rulers, husbands, and servants. Its rich tapestry of characters, moral lessons, and divine interventions continues to resonate through various adaptations, performances, and religious practices across South Asia and beyond.
