Zurich | 14/05/2009 - 03/05/2009 The Love Story continues Rama and Sita in the Park-Villa Rieter

Exhibition about the Ramayana, an ancient Sanskrit epic that is considered to be the oldest and longest epic in world literature. On show are 65 exhibits selected from collection of the Museum Rietberg, telling the story of the Sanskrit-Saga. The Ramayana originally written by the poet Valmiki, and compiled between approximately 400 BCE and 200 CE, consists of 24,000 verses in six cantos. The Ramayana tells the story of a prince, Rama of Ayodhya, whose wife Sita is abducted by the demon king of Lanka, Ravana. Rama is the hero of this tale and he is portrayed as an incarnation of the god Vishnu. He is the eldest and the favorite son of the King of Ayodhya, Dasaratha. The Ramayana follows the life of Rama and his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana and even today is a very important part of Indian mythology and culture.
