Synopsis

          The God Vishnu reincarnates himself as Prince Rama, the first son of King Dashrata, to stop King Ravana from continuing his evil reign. Young Prince Rama grows up to be a strong man and by his strength he wins the love of Princess Sita. Before King Dashrata is able to bestow the throne to Rama, his second wife, Kaikeyi, requests that he fulfill the two wishes he granted her in return for having saved his life during the war. Her first wish was to make her son Bharata the crowned king and second, to banish Rama in the forest for fourteen years. To honor his father’s word, Rama consents and goes to the forest with Sita and his brother Laksmana. While Rama was in exile, the ogress, Surpanakha, falls in love with him but he denies her. While they drive her away, Laksmana cuts Surpanakha’s nose. Furious of being insulted and hurt, Surpanakha demands her brother, King Rava, to avenge her. King Ravana, having heard of the beauty of Princess Sita, wants her to make her his wife and so, King Ravana seeks revenge for his sister by kidnapping Princess Sita. Prince Rama and Prince Laksmana team up with the monkey king, Sugriva, and the monkey general, Hanuman. Together with the army of monkeys, Prince Rama and Prince Laksmana face the dangers that await them in King Ravana’s kingdom. They save Princess Sita and return home on the 14th year of their exile. Prince Rama becomes King and leads the kingdom with Queen Sita by his side.
