Curious about the places mentioned in the Ramayana, they set off on their own journey, following Rama's route from Ayodhya to the Dandakaranya forest and Panchavati (near Nashik) and on to Kishkindhya (close to Hampi), Rameshwaram and Sri Lanka. Along the way, they would discover how closely the narrative of the Ramayana is linked to local folklore and how the stories of the Ramayana and the moral framework that binds them still speak to the people who live in the land across which Rama, Sita and Lakshman made their journey. For the armchair traveller as well as the enthusiast for epic tales, this is a beautiful book with which to revisit the world of the Ramayana.
