Like Mahabharata, one of India's oldest epics and longer than the Odyssey and Iliad combined, Ramayan is a momentous story from start to finish. The hero is Prince Ram, heir to the throne of Kosala. One day, without warning his life is turned upside down, and he is flung headlong into action packed adventure where he must battle with demons, meet Princesses, gain wisdom and use mystical weapons in a final showdown with the most ruthless demon in the universe. This story is replete with golden palaces, hidden cities, monkey armies, wizardry, villains, magical weapons, vimana spacecraft, giants, magical deer, and the lives and loves of a dynasty.
