Tulsidas Ramayana: Ram Charit Manas (English and Hindi Edition) Hardcover – February 1, 2011

Hardback consisting of 5 comics bound together: The Childhood Days of Ram, Ram in Exile, The Abduction of Sita, In Search of Sita, Ram the Victorious. The comics are the usual for Amar Chitra Katha (entertaining, colorful, good depiction of the story). The binding on my copy was very iffy. I had to re-glue the end pages back onto the hardback boards myself. It seems like it will hold up now. There are many, many comics in the ACK series. Also check out amazon.com/gp/product/ASIN/8184820089 and amazon.com/gp/product/ASIN/8189999508 for different versions of the Ramayana.

My daughter loved it and will read The great epic Ramayana again . Jai Rama Sri Rama Jai Jai Rama

Comic books are not a lesser source of info into hindu mythology and folk lore. They've shaped hindu politics and religion

good book

I was interested in reading the Ramayana however found it overwhelming. As a 40 yr old adult who struggles with certain reads and concepts due to neurodivergence, I enjoy reading but struggle with certain books as the language is over my head making it hard to digest and comprehend. YET THESE STORIES OF RAM were broken down into bite sized pieces making it easy to understand. The photos and art in this comic were beautiful. The phrases and languaging I found very entertaining giggling throughout various parts of each narrative. Not only did I learn about the life or King Ram I also learned more about my Ishta Devata, Hanuman. I applaud the author who created this masterpiece and am ever so grateful that these comics exist! This one has expanded my conscious awareness within my own spiritual journey and helped me to have an appreciation for Ram's experience. I look forward to reading further comics by Anant Pai about vedic literature!

Amar Chitra Katha's are great in general and I have no hesitation in recommending them.Hundreds of the old issues were hand drawn by great artists and are basically peerless in the comics world. However, for the newer issues, Amar Chitra Katha artists have been using computer graphics. I recognize that that we have to move with the times, and maybe this is right direction, but personally for me, these new comics don't have the charm of the earlier hand drawn artwork.For this particular issue, the artwork is by Dilip Kadam, who has done a good job with the older traditional titles as well. However, it looks like the art work in this issue was digitally colored - the panels look very busy with too many colors. The text uses digitally typeset font (not hand drawn), and is rather verbose. However, the binding and paper quality are excellent.I am a collector of Amar Chitra Katha issues, and in spite of my grumbling, I continue to amass them. I recommend that you do the same!

Its an over expensive worthless comic book with nothing in common with the book Ramayana
