RAMAYANA STORY (FULL STORY)
http://www.purawisata.com/ramayana-ballet-performance/

With the help of Marico who changes himself into a Golden Deer and seduces Rama, Shinta and Laksamana, Rahwana is able to kidnap Shinta. Jatayu tries to save the princess but he is killed by the enemy. Before Jatayu dies, he manages to tell Rama that Shinta is kidnapped. Then Rama orders Hanoman to go to Alengka to see the condition of Queen Shinta.

After Hanoman gives Rama’s ring to Shinta, he destroys Argaloca garden and fights against the giants. Hanoman is later arrested by Hindrajat and Rahwana has the white ape burnt, but Hanoman does not die.

In Pancawati, Hanoman reports about the situation of Alengka. Then Hanggodo is delegated to go to Alengka to ask Rahwana to return Shinta peacefully. This makes Rahwana angry and he orders his men to kill Hanggodo, but Kumbokarno protects him.

As the result, Rahwana throws Kumbokarno out of the country. When the soldiers are commanded to the battle Hindrajit earnestly asks Kumbokarno for help. In the battle, all of Alengka’s soldiers are killed as well as Kumbokarno.

After visiting Shinta in the garden, Rahwana fights Rama. Rama manages to win the fight. Then Hanoman fetches Shinta, who is very happy to meet her husband However Rama rejects her, as he suspects about Shinta’s purity. Rama asks Shinta to have a holy bath by jumping into the burning fire.

After some exhaustive research, I have reached to a conclusion that versions of Ramayana exists in many languages, including Annamese, Balinese, Bengali, Cambodian, Chinese, Gujarati, Javanese, Kannada, Kashmiri, Khotanese, Laotian, Malaysian, Marathi, Oriya, Prakrit, Sanskrit, Santhali, Sinhalese, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Tibetan, etc. In Sanskrit itself there are 25 different versions. According to A. K. Ramanujam, more than 300 tellings of Ramayana exist.

Each has newer dimensions, more fascinating than the other.
