The tale you are about to see is part of India’s history,A tale of adventure, war and peace, and a great love story,Of good fighting evil.

Believe all the things you see! Slide4

Long, long ago….

Sita’s father wanted someone to marry her…Slide5

Ravana

a 10 headed demon wanted to make Sita his wife, but Sita refused! Ravana swore he would get revenge…Slide6

In the meantime

Sita fell in love and married Rama!Slide7

Rama took

Sita back to his palace, everyone was happy! However his Father’s new wife wanted her son (Bharat) to be King instead of Rama.Slide8

The Queen made the King banish Rama and

Sita to the forest for 14 years, so that Bharat could be King one day.

However when the King suddenly died

Bharat refused to sit on the throne and said he would leave Rama’s sandals on the throne until his return. Slide9

So Rama,

Sita and Lakshman (Rama’s brother) were sent out into the forest, where they lived happily.Slide10

This was not to last because the evil

Ravana’s sister tried to trick Rama into marrying her!

However when both Rama and his brother

Lakshman

refuse to marry the she-demon, she runs off to tell her brother

Ravana

!Slide11

Ravana

swears his revenge again and tricks Sita into helping him as a helpless old man!

takes Sita prisoner to the faraway island of Lanka.Slide14

Rama helps

Jatayu and Lakhshman gathers weapons to get Sita back from Ravana

Suddenly the monkey army arrive with Hanuman the Monkey God!Slide16

Hanuman goes in search of

Sita with Rama’s flower garland to show he is her friend. Slide17

Hanuman finds

Sita and gives her Rama’s flower garland as a sign.Slide18

On his return to Rama, Hanuman asks his monkey army to build a bridge over to Lanka to rescue

Sita.Slide19

Rama and his army marched across the bridge and

Ravana was waiting for them…Slide20

Rama shot

Ravana with his bow and arrow and he was dead!Slide21

Sita

ran back to Rama and gave him his flower garland back. They were together once more, everyone cheered!Slide22

told Rama that 14 years had passed and they could all return home.Slide23
