Deeper down south is present-day Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu where the army of monkeys and bears helped Ram built a bridge across to Lanka.
The place Ram headed to for his exile - Panchavati - the grove of 5 banyan trees - is in what is today Nashik in the mountainous state of Maharashtra. Ayodhya was a settlement or kingdom on the banks of the Sharayu or Sarayu river in the North Indian Gangetic plains. One is quite startled by the fact that there are relics found even today that confirm to the incidents and places mentioned in the Ramayana.įor example, the names of the places mentioned in the epic and their path onward to the flow of the epic.
But since India has been a continuous civilisation, there has been a sense of continuity in the carriage of stories pertaining to the era long since gone by. Hanuman overseeing the construction of Ram Setu | Photo Credit: Instagram
