Synopsis

The Ramayana Culture: Text, Performance and Iconography is an academic edited volume that examines the Ramayana not only as a literary epic but also as a living cultural tradition expressed through literature, religious practices, performing arts, and visual representations across South and Southeast Asia. The book explores how the Ramayana has been interpreted, adapted, and performed in different historical periods and cultural contexts. It brings together scholarly essays on the epic's textual traditions, regional retellings, theatrical and dance performances, temple sculptures, paintings, and other forms of iconography. By combining perspectives from literature, history, art history, religious studies, and performance studies, the volume highlights the enduring influence of the Ramayana on Asian cultural and religious life.
