important stories in
Indian culture and
has influenced
Indian culture and
arts for thousands
of years.
The story is often
retold in different ways
such as drama, dance
and song.
Brahman
Hindus believe that Brahman, their God has many different forms.
The three main forms are
• Brahma (The Creator)
• Vishnu (The Preserver)
• Shiva (The Destroyer).
Vishnu is said to have visited the earth 12 times in different forms. The
Ramayana is the story of one of these visits to earth when Vishnu took
the form of Rama, a Prince.

Example
When Rama’s father wanted to stand down from the throne and
hand the reign over to his eldest son Rama, he was reminded of
two promises he had made to his second wife. He had promised
her that their son Barata would succeed as king and that Rama
was to be sent into exile into the forest for fourteen years. To help
his father to make this difficult decision, Rama gave up the throne
and willingly left going into the forest with his wife Sinta and his
half brother Laksmana. Sadly, stricken with grief, Rama’s father
died.

a New Year in Hinduism; as well as Jainism and
Sikhism.
