The poem, believed to have been written by Valmiki in the 5th century BCE is one of India’s two great literary works after the Mahabharata.

With all of its 24,000 verses composed in Sanskrit, the story of Rama and Sita has been told and retold for countless generations in the Southeast Asian region.
