Along the Ramayana Trail: A Cultural Journey Across India and Sri Lanka - Hardcover
About this item
by DK (Author)
Take an unforgettable journey across the heart of India and Sri Lanka, tracing the path of the epic Ramayana across sacred geographies--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, or experience Sita's yearning as she awaits rescue. Follow Hanuman on his reconnaissance across the ocean, or relive the grandeur of Lanka, ruled by Ravana, a mighty king. Delve into the cultural practices that have emerged from the Ramayana-- from the Tanjore paintings and RamLila performances in Varanasi to the shadow puppets of Kerala.
