The Ramayana is an Epic Narrative Poem written by one of Ancient India's oldest poets, Valmiki. It has also been influential in Hinduism as many Hindus celebrate Diwali in honor of the return of Lord Rama, his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana from exile of 14 yearsThe epic begins in the city of Ayodhya whose king, Dasaratha, is in despair since he has no children to inherit his kingdom. He performs a great fire sacrifice and his three wives, in consequence, bear four sons: Rama, Bharata, and twins Lakshmana and Shatrughna. When Rama, his eldest and favorite son, turns sixteen, the sage Vishwamitra requests his help in taking down the demons. In other news, the neighboring King Janaka despairs that nobody can complete the Engagement Challenge to win the hand of his beautiful daughter Sita, as many suitors have tried and failed to even lift the bow of Shiva (which he ordered must be strung). Rama, naturally, breaks the bow, and marriages are arranged left and right between the two kingdoms. Rama and Sita reside together in peace for about a decade.Dasaratha, having grown old, is about to hand over his position to Rama, however his youngest and favorite wife Kaikeyi convinces him to fulfill The Promise he had made years ago. She then asks that Rama be exiled for fourteen years and her son, Bharata, be crowned. Dasaratha reluctantly does so, but he dies of heartbreak not long after. Lakshmana tags along with Rama and Sita, leaving his own wife and twin brother behind in Ayodhya. Meanwhile, Bharata finds Rama in the forest and declares that the throne rightfully belongs to the latter. When Rama refuses, Bharata accepts, but threatens to kill himself if Rama doesn't promptly return when his exile ends.Rama, Lakshmana, and Sita eventually settle into a life of exile. Surpanakha, a sister of the demon king Ravana, is entranced by the brothers' good looks and tries to seduce them. Ever faithful, Rama and Lakshmana deny her advances, and the latter cuts off her nose. Naturally, when Ravana hears of this, he's pissed off and orders the shape-shifting demon Maricha to turn into a golden deer. Sita is entranced by the deer, and asks Rama to capture it for her. He reluctantly leaves her under Lakshmana's guard, but when Sita thinks she hears him cry for help, she convinces Lakshmana to go after him. Of course, it was all a distraction, as Ravana kidnaps Sita and brings her to the island city of Lanka, separated from the mainland by a giant ocean, where he tries to force her to marry him.The rest of the epic describes the Roaring Rampage of Rescue Rama embarks upon with Hanuman — greatest of the monkey heroes, trickster archetype, and son of a wind god — who helps him search for Sita when Sugriva, his leader, is returned to the throne of Kishkinda. Hanuman meets Sita clandestinely in Lanka and asks her to return home with him, but she denies his request, saying that Rama should be the one to rescue her. He is captured by Ravana's forces, but Ravana's righteous brother Vibheeshana convinces Ravana not to kill him and instead only burn his tail. Hanuman then torches the entire city.What follows is Rama and company attacking Lanka by building a giant bridge. A lengthy battle then happens, in which Ravana is defeated. Sita is returned to Rama, but he doubts her chastity. She then goes through the Agni Parishka, where she steps into a fire to prove that she did not sleep with Ravana. The flames do not burn her, she is declared innocent, and the party returns to Ayodhya where they rule peacefully.The Ramayana is a testament to the belief that good will always triumph over evil. Its characters are also what Indians believed to be "ideal" - ie. Rama is the perfect man, Sita is the perfect wife, etc. It has been adapted countless times and reproduced in India, Indonesia, Thailand, and most of South East Asia. It is subject to tons of Alternative Character Interpretation and Sadly Mythtaken. It also bears some similarities to The Odyssey and Journey to the West.For a darker, longer ancient Indian epic, see the Mahabharata. It forms an integral part of Hinduism.

Badass Adorable: Rama's sons Lava and Kusha. They're sweet kids and superb singers, but in a fight, no one other than Rama can defeat them. As for the rest, it's just one Curb-Stomp Battle after another. They only start the fight because they like the horse that their father has been parading through the countryside, and think a fight will be fun.

comment
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Zig-Zagged with Rama's exile. After Kaikeyi requests that her husband banish Rama instead of crown him, Rama mentions he would have gone to the forest if she had asked Rama to go and not invoked her boon. At the very least, Dasaratha wouldn't have been forced to made that Sadistic Choice.

Honor Before Reason
 Ramayana / int_44fc28e8
comment
Honor Before Reason: The unquestioning performance of duty, even if it leads to negative consequences, is one of the major themes of the text. Dasarath exiles his beloved son Rama because he is bound by an oath he gave to Kaikeyi. Rama willingly goes into exile, both out of filial obedience and to help his father fulfill the terms of his vow, despite everyone in Ayodhya except Kaikeyi (his father included) pleading with him to ignore the command. Hanuman offers to carry Sita out of Ravana's garden and back to her husband; she says she can't go that way, that he must win her back honorably. This means thousands of men and rakshasas dying in battle.

Downer Ending: Depending on the version followed. The original Six Kanda (kandas are like 'sections', each with a number of chapters) version ends happily but the later, expanded Seven Kanda Version is a big fat Shoot the Shaggy Dog downer-o-rama! Sita is cast out of Ayodhya while pregnant with twins to Valmiki's hermitage and asks Mother Earth to swallow her up when Rama asks for her to come back a second time. Rama's commits suicide by drowning in the Sarayu. Rama and Sita's twins are therefore brought up without their parents.

Noble Demon: Ravana's brother Vibhishana is one, both figuratively and literally. He makes a Heel–Face Turn and joins Rama. Ravana himself, strangely enough. He is bound by a personal code of conduct, and never forces himself on Sita during the years in captivity, although this might at least be partly attributable to a previous curse note Ravana tried to marry a woman engaged to his stepson Nalakubara. Nalakubara was angry and said that if Ravana married a woman against her will all of his ten heads would break into pieces. Ravana acquired his great power by spending a thousand years performing austerities in honour of Shiva.

 Ramayana / int_89a17726
comment
Spell My Name with an "S": There's a lot of different transliterations of the names, the most common being the "a"s at the end (Ravana/Ravan) and the "i"/"e" thing (Sita/Seeta). Much of this is down to the differences between Sanskrit and modern Hindi, as well as different approaches to transliterating Indian languages to the Latin alphabet.

Forged by the Gods: Rama's Weapon of Mass Destruction is his own special arrow, which can be charged with enough power to destroy everything in the universe and no enemy can stop it. He never uses it except to threaten but just the sheer havoc it wreaks by putting it on the bow shows a sample of what it can do.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain!: Ravana's idea to set fire to Hanuman's tail not only allows him to escape, but in the process he burns down the entire city of Lanka, and now the heroes have all the info they need to fight Ravana. Not to mention that his attempts to stop Hanuman resulted in the deaths of 2 of his sons, several commanders and a good chunk of his army.

All for Nothing: Two major examples impact the epic: Kaikeyi asking Dasaratha to crown Bharata king and exile Rama backfires horribly: Bharata disowns her, lives as an ascetic and rules in Rama's name, happily ceding the crown when his brother returns. Rama rescuing Sita ended up proving fruitless, as he later exiles her while she is pregnant with twins.

Wicked Stepmother: Rama, his brother Laxman and his wife were exiled from their Kingdom for 14 years because Kaikeyi, his stepmother wanted her son Bharat to be king. Zigzagged in that she was actually portrayed as being like Rama's own mother, being magnanimous and kind and absolutely overjoyed when she learned that Dasarath, the King wanted to crown Rama as the Crown Prince. The influence of her evil maid and the gods themselves hardening her heart lead her to make her request to Dasarath.

Double Standard: Rama doubts Sita's chastity even though Sita was kidnapped against her will by the Demon King Ravana and did not do anything with him. She proves her chastity through the Agni Pariksha where she sat on a funeral pyre. The fire did not burn her, vouching for her chastity. In the extended adaptation whose chapters are of a more recent visage, Sita's chastity is mocked by a washerman in Ayodhya who verbally abused his wife. For that, Rama exiles her to the forest and away from the Kingdom of Ayodhya.

Improbable Aiming Skills
 Ramayana / int_bcd27e37
comment
Improbable Aiming Skills Rama is easily the greatest archer of all in Hindu literature. Even Arjuna of the Mahabharata doesn't quite match him there. As a kid training in archery, he once practices a shot where he knocks off a woman's nose ring with one arrow and a second arrow mid-flight deflects it to go into her nose again exactly through the holes. Without hurting her. He creates a complete shield of arrows to stop demons from polluting a fire sacrifice. He also sends one of the demons flying hundreds of miles out to sea with a single shot. He single-handedly defeats 14000 demons and two of Ravana's Dragons, whom even the Gods couldn't beat. Dasharatha gets his name because he's capable of fighting enemies surrounding him in ten directions, including up and down. He is capable of hitting the target dead on only by hearing the noise it makes, although he gets into some serious trouble when he accidentally kills an ascetic this way.

Exact Words: When a crowd of people want to follow Rama into the forest as he leaves Ayodhya, he tells all men and women to go home. When he comes back 14 years later, he finds that the hijras, being neither, stayed where he gave the speech. He was so impressed, he granted hijras the boon to confer blessings on people during auspicious inaugural occasions like childbirth and weddings. This boon is the origin of badhai, in which hijras sing, dance, and give blessings.

Cain and Abel: Ramayana has tons of brothers seemingly at odds. In the story of brothers Vali and Sugreeva, Vali suspects Sugreeva of plotting to take over his throne, exiles him and takes his wife for himself. Later, Sugreeva meets with Rama and Laxman who decide to help him kill Vali. Also played straight in the tale of Big Bad Ravana and his younger brother Vibheeshana. Vibheeshana allies himself with Rama and against his brother. When Lanka is defeated and Ravana is killed, Vibheeshana is crowned emperor. Averted in the case of Rama and his younger brother Bharata in that Bharata did not want to rule the Kingdom and ruled it only as a surrogate during Rama's exile, contrary to Kaikeyi's expectation that Bharata would be glad to be sole ruler. Also averted with Lav and Kush, Rama's sons who are identical twins. In fact, when one of them gets injured in battle, the other takes up the fight angrily and wins.

Undying Loyalty: Hanuman is legendary amongst Hindus as the living incarnation of loyalty. Pretty much all his deeds (and there are MANY) are, beyond anything else, shows of devotion and love to Rama. In fact, Hanuman declared that, as long as Rama's name was known and people were devoted to him, he'd stay on Earth. So yes, Hanuman became immortal because of how devoted he is to Rama. Sita and Lakshmana willingly follow Rama into exile in the forest. Much of the population of Ayodhya, including his mother Kaushalya) is also willing to follow him, but Rama commands them to stay in the city.

Beware the Nice Ones

comment
Beware the Nice Ones: There are only 3 (justified) occasions where Rama loses his temper, and when he does, the whole universe must urgently find a way to appease him, and fast!

Accidental Murder
 Ramayana / int_fd497706
comment
Accidental Murder: A young Dasaratha accientally killed a boy named Shravan Kumar, by mistaking him for a deer and shooting him with his arrows. Shravan's dad, a blind hermit, curses him: since Dasaratha killed his son, albeit by accident, he will also die without having his son by his side... Which is what happens after he banishes Rama to keep his word to Kaikeyi.
