"رامائن" is an ancient Indian epic that narrates the life and adventures of راما, a prince of أيوذيا. The story revolves around his quest to rescue his wife, سيتا, who is abducted by the demon king رافانا. The epic is divided into several books, known as كنداس, and explores themes of duty, righteousness, and devotion. It is attributed to the sage فالميكي and is considered one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient Indian literature, alongside the مهabharata.
