We’ve read it before and we’ve heard the story on loop, especially during Dussehra and Diwali. Yeah! We’re talking about Ramayana – the Game of Thrones of that era– written by Valmiki.
We at The Quint thought it’s time we had an A-Z refresher course on Ramayana for all our Gen Z and millennial readers.
This guide to Ramayana was first published in 2017. It has been republished from The Quint's archives to mark the festival of Dussehra.
