The Ramayana is a holy book of Hindus. They read it in the morning. It is a sacred book which teaches us about life. It has been written by the great poet Valmiki.

About the Book: The Ramayana tells the story of Lord Ram who was the king of Ayodhya. He was an obedient son of Dashrath. To obey the orders of his father, he went into exile for 14 years. His wife Sita and brother Laxman decided to go with Ram. In the forest, Sita was kidnapped by Ravana, the king of Lanka. Ram invaded Lanka and defeated Ravana. Then he came back to his country. The people welcomed him by lighting Diyas.

He also teaches us how to become humble and brave at the same time. The book also spreads a great message to raise above narrow caste divisions and treat everyone equally. It represents the victory of good over evil.

Conclusion: The Ramayana is a great epic. It teaches everyone to become dutiful, loving and respectful towards others. It improves us mentally and spiritually.
