The sublime theme of the Valmiki Ramayana transforms into beauty, grandeur and grace in the pages of this book. The characters come alive in their splendid colours and glory. Beginning with the great yajna performed by King Dasharatha of Ayodhya to be blessed with children, the drama moves like the lyrical strains of a magnum opus. It traverses episode after episode in a rhythmic movement that touches all the vital emotions to transport the readers to a world that is an embodiment of Indian culture and wisdom.
