This read reveals some unknown facts about Ramayana. The cover page itself reveals the fact that this is a marvellous book. ✨ πŸ”ΈIt starts with a brief introduction and summary of the epic Ramayana. Then the author gives us some context and its explanation and settings about it.  πŸ‘‰My two cents:-  ✨ πŸ”ΈThe language is simple and the narration is just perfect. The author has explained beautifully about everything which gives us crystal clear ideas. This seems like a very big read but once you start reading it you will get immersed and it turns out to be a page-turner. I loved her style of storytelling which didn't spoil and kept the essence of Valmiki's Ramayana. ✨ πŸ”ΉI am a big fan of the ancient epic Mahabharata but...
