Details

One of the world's oldest stories, The Ramayana is a beautiful, uplifting and spiritual tale of romance, following the adventures of Prince Rama and Sita. Exiled from the serene palaces of their homeland and plunged into the deep forests of Southern India, the passionate love of Rama and Sita is put to the test as demons, goddesses and an army of monkeys do battle for their hearts. Set to a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack by leading light of the UK Asian music scene, Shri (of Badmarsh and Shri), Ramayana takes you on a heady and moving journey through forests and fire.
