The story of the Ramakian is an epic Indian story about Rama and his bride Sita. Here’s the very short version.The couple has all the bad luck possible; they’re banished to the forest, Sita is kidnapped, the white monkey king rescues her, great demons attack the good guys, Sita appears to die (but doesn’t), there’s a fire test, magic bow and arrow and finally they all live happily every after. Fortunately, the story wall does a much better job with the story and the details that go into it. They have been restoring it, mending the cracks and loss of plaster and have teams of artists repainting (with gold leaf in the appropriate places) the varied scenes. They are spectacular. You've got to imagine this...the story is portrayed on numerous walls around the entire temple grounds.
