Description
This pancharatna volume covers five Amar Chitra Katha titles on the legendary ideal king, Rama. The first one is based on Kalidasa's 'Raghuvamsham' and chronicles the lives of the Ancestors of Rama.

The second, Dasharatha is based mainly on Valmiki's famous epic, Ramayana. It is said that the poem could gush out of the compassionate heart of Valmiki because he witnessed the sorrow of a female Krauncha bird, when its mate was killed by the merciless arrow of a hunter.

Rama is based on the Hinid classic Ram Charit Manas by the great poet Tulsidas. The idea that God fulfils himself in the best of men is conveyed by the life of Rama, as depicted by Tulsidas.

Hanuman, though born a monkey, attained a prominent place among the Hindu Gods, by his sterling character and by his singular devotion to Rama.

The Sons of Rama is based on Bhavabhuti's Uttara Ramacharitam.
