Ramayana

This gorgeously illustrated retelling by Ranchor Prime of the story of Rama, the king of Ayodha, is an extraordinary addition to both Vaishnava literature and Indian art. First told by the poet Valmiki in 24,000 Sanskrit verses more than 2,000 years ago and then memorised and retold by Valmiki's disciples and passed from generation to generation, the Ramayana has been central to Indian life for millennia.
