The Ramayana is one of India's most popular epics. Versions appear in literature, plays, movies, and even television.

It's the story of King Rama and how he tries to save his kidnapped wife, Sita. The Indian sage Valmiki wrote the epic about 200BCE in Sanskrit, the ancient Indian language.

Here are some great resources for teaching the epic.
