THE RAMAYANAM, an itihasa of the highest order, is considered adi kavya, the first poem to have been composed. Written by Valmiki during Rama's time, and ratified by him, this timeless epic has been treated with utmost care by all acaryas in their famed commentaries. Since the advent of human civilization, it has inspired many poets and dramatists across the subcontinent and has been transcreated in almost all Bharatiya languages. Multiple layers of philosophy and theology are an embellishment to this classic. Its influence on Bharatiya music, dance, sculpture and textiles is unfathomable.In this two-volume presentation, noted Vedic scholar Dushyanth Sridhar retells the Ramayaņam as a conversation between Välmiki and Narada. Infused with a dash of creativity that is accepted even by traditional scholars, and drawing upon interesting details from renowned and lesser-known works, this timeless epic has been recreated in a never-before manner. Furthermore, expressive sketches by eminent artist Keshav, and drawings of rare artefacts by Upasana add great value to this edition, making it the most trusted rendering of the Ramayaņam for readers across all ages.
