The film draws inspiration from the Ramayana, a revered Sanskrit epic and one of the two great Itihasas of Hinduism (the other being the Mahabharata). The Ramayana tells the story of Rama, the seventh avatar of the Hindu deity Vishnu, who is the prince of Ayodhya.
The epic follows the story of Rama, exiled to the forest for fourteen years at the behest of his stepmother Kaikeyi for King Dasharatha. Rama was accompanied by his wife Sita and his brother, Lakshmana, during his sojourn through the forests of the Indian subcontinent. Following Sita's abduction by Ravana, the King of Lanka, a fierce war erupted between Rama and Ravana. After a long battle that had several ups and downs for both sides, Rama emerged victorious, killing Ravana. Upon his return to Ayodhya with Sita, she was crowned queen amidst great celebration and jubilation.
