It also emphasizes themes of love, courage, revenge and righteousness.
Excerpt from Ramayana:
The Ramayana is about the exile of Prince Rama of Ayodhya, his wife Sita, and brother Lakshmana, and their subsequent struggle to rescue Sita after she is kidnapped by the demon king Ravana.
After stepmother Kaikeyi's plotting, Rama is exiled for 14 years, with Sita and Lakshmana choosing to join him. During their exile, the demon king Ravana kidnaps Sita, luring her away by having his accomplice disguise himself as a golden deer. Rama and Lakshmana despair but begin a search for Sita. They gain the help of the monkey king Sugriva and his general, the devoted Hanuman. Hanuman finds Sita in Ravana's kingdom of Lanka. Rama, along with Hanuman and his monkey army, builds a bridge to Lanka to fight Ravana. Rama ultimately kills Ravana in a great battle, freeing Sita. A fire ordeal is performed to prove Sita's purity, after which she is reunited with Rama. The couple returns to Ayodhya to claim the throne, where Rama becomes king.
