The ballet company Rama Hari presents musical version of #Ramayana, an epic narrative that is a shared heritage among the ASEAN member states.
The ancient epic is celebrated not only in India but in other South Asian countries as well. Around 300 versions of the epic poem are known to exist. Generally, the oldest version of Ramayana is attributed to Valmiki. Apart from India, versions of the Ramayana can be found in Burma, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, Mongolia, Vietnam and China.
Though most versions revolve around the version written by Sage Valmiki, many versions also focus of peripheral characters and their stories.
