Along the Ramayana Trail

By: DK

Narrated by: Homer Todiwala

Take an unforgettable journey across the heart of India and Sri Lanka, tracing the path of the epic Ramayana across sacred geographies.

Travel from the sprawling temple city of Ayodhya in northern India where Rama was born and the dense forests of Dandakaranya where he was exiled, to the misty Horton Plains in Kandy, believed to be the site of Ravana’s airport and the reefs of Hambantota, once the Lankan king’s citadel.

Walk in Rama’s footsteps as he searches for Sita, experience Sita’s yearning as she awaits rescue, follow Hanuman on his reconnaissance across the ocean, and relive the grandeur of Lanka, ruled by Ravana, a mighty king. And explore the cultural practices that have emerged from the Ramayana – from RamLila performances in Varanasi and the Tanjore paintings to the shadow puppets of Kerala.

In Along The Ramayana Trail, the reader will experience the epic’s living heritage – at once a cultural odyssey and an essential guide to exploring two nations bound by one timeless story.
