Valmiki Ramayanam, also known as the Ramayana, is an ancient Indian epic attributed to the sage Valmiki. It narrates the story of Lord Rama and his journey to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana. The Ramayana holds great significance in Hindu mythology and has been revered for centuries for its moral teachings, philosophical insights, and devotion to righteousness.
We are excited to announce that Project Ramayanam will soon be launched as an API and will also be available as web, Android, and iOS apps. With these platforms, we aim to reach a wider audience and make the valuable resources of Valmiki Ramayanam easily accessible to everyone.
