Abstract:

The story of Ramayana was orally handed down from one generation to the other from around 10th century B.C., and it is said that the poet Valmiki gave its present shape around 200 A.D. There is no other medium but animation for depicting the divine powers of the hero Rama and the devilish powers of his arch rival Ravana, the life and death battle between Lakshmana and Indrajit in the sky and the antics of Hanuman - who can fly like Superman in the sky and change the size of his body at will. With narration by James Earl Jones
