An abridged version of the epic tale of Lord Rama featuring the rare miniature artwork of the historic Mewar Ramayana. Also known as the Jagat Singh Ramayana, this was the finest copy of the work ever commissioned by a Hindu ruler.The Mewar Ramayana was one of the greatest manuscript projects ever undertaken in India, and for five years (1649 to 1653) required close collaboration between teams of painters.

Roli Books offers you a rare glimpse into the historical artwork, coupled with a succinct retelling of the story written by bestselling author and Ancient India-aficionado, Sumedha Verma Ojha.
