"Рамаяна" is an ancient Indian epic that narrates the life and adventures of Рама, a prince of Айодхья. The story explores themes of duty, righteousness, and devotion as Рама embarks on a quest to rescue his wife, Сита, who has been abducted by the demon king Равана. The epic is traditionally attributed to the sage Вальмики and consists of seven books, known as Канков. It is not only a significant literary work but also a vital part of Hindu culture, influencing art, dance, and theater throughout the centuries.
