Ramayana

रामायणम्

The Ramayana was originally composed by Maharshi Valmiki in Sanskrit — the first epic poem (Adi Kavya). It has been retold in many regional traditions, most notably by Goswami Tulsidas in the Ramcharitmanas (Awadhi). The epic depicts the life of Rama, an avatar of Vishnu, across 7 Kandas.
