Various versions of the Ramayana can be found across the Indian subcontinent and in parts of southeast Asia. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCreated in consultation with distinguished economist, scholar, and translator Dr. Bibek Debroy, \u003ci\u003eThe Illustrated Ramayana\u003c\/i\u003e draws from one of its earliest composers, the celebrated sage and poet Valmiki.
