It is a tale of love, friendship, loyalty, devotion, righteousness, and deliverance. Ramayana and Rama, whose journey is told in the epic, are embedded in India?s cultural consciousness, but at the same time they transcend borders. Various versions of the Ramayana can be found across the Indian subcontinent and in parts of southeast Asia. Created in consultation with distinguished economist, scholar, and translator, Dr Bibek Debroy, The Illustrated Ramayana draws from one of its earliest composers, the celebrated sage and poet Valmiki. It uses a combination of text and stunning images drawn from a variety of sources; from historic and contemporary artefacts, paintings, photographs, and performances; to tell Rama’s story, as he walks the path that destiny creates for him. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eForeword by Dr Bibek Debroy, Chairman of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister of India. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eValmiki’s Ramayana told in an easy-to-read manner. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eOne-of-a-kind comprehensive, linear, and visual narrative, which is a treat to the eyes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eExplores different aspects of the Ramayana, including other influences and works making it a truly global product. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eIdeal gift for special occasions such as Diwali. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eCollector?s item for those interested in mythology, religion, or would like to explore the world of Indian epics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DK (Dorling Kindersley)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48328661303546,"sku":"Z03IBU4VWPDN","price":1355.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/0473\/5226\/files\/Z03IBU4VWPDN-1.jpg?v=1727876464","url":"https:\/\/versoz.co.in\/products\/z03ibu4vwpdn","provider":"VERSOZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
