Beautiful book with gorgeous pictures.  The classic tale of the Ramayana springs to life through the brush strokes of India's most revered painter. B. G. Sharma portrays Rama, the king of Ayodhya, in his charming, youthful adventures and in battle with the demon Ravana. All Rama's friends and companions are captured with spirit and sentiment, from his loving queen, Sita, to the monkey-like Hanuman.

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 Ayodya, comes to life through B.G. Sharma's never-before-seen compositions of this classic epic. From his intimate devotee, Hanuman, to his loving Queen, Sita, we are endeared to both text and illustration as these uniquely devotional paintings propel us through the story and into the heart of the Ramayana.
