| Publisher Description: From the kingdom of Ayodhya to the isle of Lanka, we are transported to a land that has inspired morality and spiritual tradition for thousands of years. Rama, the king of Ayodhya, comes to life through B.G. Sharma's never before seen compositions of this classic Indian epic. Beginning with his charming youthful adventures to the battle with the demon Ravana, Sharma captures the spirit and sentiment of all Rama's friends and companions. From his intimate devotee, the monkey-like Hanuman, to his loving Queen, Sita, we are endeared to both text and illustration alike as these uniquely devotional paintings propel us through the text to the heart of the Ramayana. |
