Summary: The "Ramayana" is an ancient Sanskrit epic attributed to Valmiki and is one of the major epics of Hinduism along with the "Mahabharata." It narrates the life and adventures of Rama, the seventh avatar of Vishnu, focusing on his ideals as a prince and a king. The epic describes Rama’s 14-year exile, during which his wife Sita is abducted by Ravana, the king of Lanka. Rama, aided by his brother Lakshmana and the monkey god Hanuman, defeats Ravana and rescues Sita, eventually returning to Ayodhya to become king. The Ramayana comprises nearly 24,000 verses and divided into seven Kandas.
