Storyline

The central theme of the Adipurush story is the determination of Lord Ramar to eradicate injustice, which is told in the narrative style of the Ramayana. Up until Raavanan kidnapped Sita and asked her to marry him, Ram and Sita resided at Ayothi in calm and peace. When Ram heard of this, he continued upholding ethics and morality to save his wife Sita from the most dangerous 10-headed beast.

Hanumaan has enormous power; thus, he smashes everything and enters Asura King Place, Lanka. Ram got word from Sri Hanuman about the goddess's trouble, and Ram quickly made the decision to declare war on Sri Lanka. Even young children in India are familiar with the tale of Ram saving Sita from Ravan with the aid of Sri Hanuman, but Adipurush has attempted to use the content to display it in front of our eyes with high-graphic technology.
