A retelling of The Ramayana , an age-old Hindu tale which has been passed down over the centuries.

Out of his triumph, Divaali, the Indian festival of lights, is born. This work is designed specifically for Key Stage 2 RE National Curriculum and is a great way to expose children to Indian culture and mythology.
