Discover the Ramayana—one of India’s most celebrated epics, and a story that transcends time itself. This large and heavy book is filled with full color pictures and narration. The reader will easily be lost in the story.

The tale of Rama, the exiled prince of Ayodhya who battles the evil King Ravana, and rescues his abducted wife, Sita. The story is about much more than the eternal battle of good versus evil. It is a tale of love, friendship, righteousness, and deliverance. The Ramayana is embedded in India’s cultural consciousness, yet transcends borders.

Created in consultation with distinguished scholar, and translator Dr. Bibek Debroy, The Illustrated Ramayana draws from one of its earliest composers, the celebrated sage and poet Valmiki. It uses a combination of text and stunning images drawn from a variety of sources—historic and contemporary artifacts, paintings, photographs, and performances—to tell Rama’s story as he walks the path that destiny creates for him.
