The violent abduction of Rama's beloved wife, Sita, by the demon Ravana,
Rama's heroic search for Sita aided by his brother Lakshmana and the
loyal monkey Hanuman, and the war to rescue her are all familiar episodes
in an epic tale through which the moral and social values of Hindus are
constantly reinterpreted.
