The Untold contexts left burried inside.
Ramayana is an ancient Indian epic written sometime in the fifth century BCE about Rama, prince of Ayodhya who is exiled and then returns.
The sage Valmiki wrote it in Sanskrit and taught it to Rama's sons, the twins Lava and Kush.
It is a rather long poem, with approximately 24000 verses and is known as the Adi Kavya.
(adi = original, first; kavya=poem) While the basic story is about palace politics and battles with demon tribes, the narrative is interspersed with philosophy, ethics, and notes on duty.
This book states most of the facts that people are oblivious of.

The Inseparable Princes
Ramayana. An Indian epic that has lived through the centuries and has only grown even more in the process. An epic that shows ideal characters, many of whom we worship, and other characters from whom we learn what we shouldn't be at any cost. But one thing that has been a constant for many centuries now is the examples we give, referring to the epic. One of the most popular ones being "Be a brother like Rama." Not only is the Ramayana an enchanting tale of love and devotion, but it's also an equally magical example of brotherhood and affection. Brothers who stood with each other through thick and thin. Brothers who would readily sacrifice their life for the other. Brothers who would love the other, and support him when nobody else did. This book brings to you the Ramayana, but this time, the limelight is on the inseparable brothers. *** Disclaimer: Please do not read this book if you do not like humanization of deities. However, I can assure you that ALL relationships in this book are shown the way they're meant to be - no non-canon shipping. I can also assure you, that since I myself am a devotee of Shri Rama, that you will never have me intentionally writing anything against him, his real nature - the same goes for the others - Sita, Lakshmana, Urmila, Bharata, Mandavi, Shatrughna, Shrutakeerti, Dasharatha, the mothers... All of them will always get their due respect in this book. Secondly, I've followed the Valmiki Ramayana throughout. Some incidents may be revelations, as quite a few things are contrary to popular perception and other versions. Thank you! Fantastic cover designed by @Mochis4lifeq52627 <3Complete

The seeker of Truth
Hello everyone! I had always wanted to write a historical tale based in ancient India, also known as Bharatavarsh. The period in which this story is set is somewhere around the Vedic Era (1500-1000 BCE), which is the period when the Vedas (the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism) were composed. To maintain the authenticity of the story, some words and terminologies will be used from traditional languages. Please give your valuable feedback and let me know what you think of this story.Complete
A Magical Spell ~ Ramayan | TheLadyAesthetic
No, this is not about Sita and the magical deer. Disclaimer: This story is purely fanfiction and written solely for the purpose of entertainment. I do not intend to hurt anyone's feelings. The characters and setting are not owned by me. Alrighty, So for background information, the story takes place after the princes and princesses return from Mithila. Of course, they all are married now. And then comes the fictitious part. Indrajeet attacks Ayodhya, aided by the army from Lanka. The reason for this shall be later revealed in the story. And during the course of the battle, something happens that closely resembles a remake of the Shakti episode. Happy Reading! :)Complete
The Raghu princesses
few things to keep in mind before reading the story: 1) this is a slight continuation of the book 'Lakshman and urmila's love story (after the birth of Lakshmila) 2) I have kept Sita alive for the sake of the story 3) have fun reading the story Glimpse into the story "This is my home as well as yours Sita but you got to understand that you lived in Ayodhya and Mithila longer than I have stayed in both places combined! You are saying that if you go back to Mithila you will be abandoning Ayodhya and this family, but let me remind you that if you do not go back to Mithila you will not only be abandoning your people and home but also your parents that took you in and raised you as their own!" Ram says but after realising what he said he instantly regretted his wordsComplete

LAKSHMAN PRIYA
"Because he is Ram's shadow... and she is Sita's reflection... One is the personification of dutifulness and other one is the epitome of sacrifice.

And that was the divine love story of Shri Lakshman and Mata Urmila. How was this great love after all? The one who accepted the pain of separation like nectars of paradise. And what was its purpose?
