The "Ramayana" is an ancient Indian epic that primarily focuses on the life and adventures of Prince Rama. Written by the sage Valmiki, it narrates Rama's journey from his exile to his return and the rescue of his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana. The text is a significant cultural and religious work, revered in Hindu tradition for its depiction of dharma (duty and righteousness) and heroism. It includes detailed descriptions of Rama's virtues, challenges, and relationships, making it a key epic narrative rather than a work focused on scientific discoveries, philosophical discourse, or political strategies.
