Best demonstration of human character
Rama, was such a figure who never went out of the limit. Even he maintained dharma, in even bad and worse time.
This is great learning for the world to understand that in any worse situation, we should not loss control and should not be self centric...

Its not about Religion but about moral values
I saw this series in my childhood and could associate myself only from the religious point of view . Now that I am aware of a little bit working of this world , when I am watching this series again on DVD , I can understand why Ramayana as a epic is so relevant in modern times . It gives a message of love, peace , harmony and dutifulness with the right dose of righteousness in all our actions . The narrative is simple and the characters very true to life .Most of us in India at least understand religion as a sacred duty and not in day to day affairs of life , which ideally it should be. This series , had for the first time explained , with warmth the importance and fun to be righteous and humble in every sphere of daily life . Whoever wishes to improve his life a little more must see and understand from Ramayana.
Epic episode remind childhood
We used to sit with family and watch now this serial started again in the lock down of india and same we are sitting and watching, what a lovely moment. Coming to ramcharitmanas version, many tried to do but this never created again. All character are masterpiece. Thanks to ramanand sagar and team

- TriviaAfter being initially rejected by Doordarshan due to perceived lack of interest in religious programming, the series quickly went on to become the most popular series in Indian television history, reaching over 100 million viewers each week. Its popularity reached a point of what the Indian news magazine India Today called "'Ramayan' fever", where religious services were rescheduled, buses, trains, and inter-city trucks were stopped, and shops would close every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. so that people would gather to watch the show. In villages, watching the show became a religious ritual unto itself. The show's popularity would remain the highest in history until a few years later, when Mahabharat (1988), also based on an ancient Hindu epic, would exceed its popularity.
- Alternate versionsAfter the sequel series Luv Kush (1988) ended, both the series were aired combined as "Sampurna Ramayan".
