What
makes
the
story
of
Ramayana
so
universal,
yet
so
utterly
unique?
Delve
deeper
into
the
same
with
one
of
India's
bestselling
and
acclaimed
fiction
writers,
Amish
Tripathi
who
is
all
set
to
begin
his
journey
as
an
anchor
for
the
very
first
time
by
lending
his
extraordinary
storytelling
expertise
through
Discovery+'s
upcoming
docu-series
Legends
of
The
Ramayana.
Foraying
into
the
digital
space
as
a
host
with
the
series,
Amish
will
traverse
across
geographies
as
he
sets
out
on
his
own
mega
adventure
in
the
footsteps
of
Lord
Ram
to
retrace
his
sacred
journey
and
unravel
the
under-explored
mysteries
around
the
text.
With
the
record
of
the
fastest
and
second-fastest
selling
book
series
to
his
credit,
Amish
is
one
of
the
most
revered
and
celebrated
Indian
authors
renowned
for
his
novels
on
Shiva
Trilogy
and
the
Ram
Chandra
Series,
both
of
which
have
been
benchmarks
in
the
Indian
publishing
history
catering
to
audiences
across
age
and
class.
His
immense
knowledge
of
Indian
mythology
and
effortless
expertise
to
juxtapose
the
richness
of
history
with
the
charm
of
modern-day
storytelling
makes
Amish
the
perfect
fit
for
Legends
of
The
Ramayana.
Talking
about
his
experience,
Amish
said,
"It
has
been
said
that
no
Indian
hears
the
Ramayan
for
the
first
time.
We
are
all
born
with
it.
It's
a
part
of
our
genes,
a
part
of
our
bones.
It
is
our
collective
eternal
heritage.
And
to
be
able
host
a
documentary
on
this
subject,
would,
I
thought,
be
a
bit
like
coming
home.
And
yet,
even
though
we
were
covering
the
familiar,
one
still
had
experiences
that
one
would
not
expect!"
He
added,
"For
example,
we
actually
shot
in
small
caves
where
an
underground
river
flows!
Or
discovered
a
tribe
that
tattoos
the
holy
name
of
Ram
all
over
their
bodies!
Or
actually
found
floating
stones
at
Rameshwaram;
stones
that
despite
being
so
light
were
still
strong
enough
to
be
used
in
the
modern
era
in
the
construction
of
a
church!
All
of
us
Indians
think
we
know
Lord
Ram's
journey.
But
there
is
still
so
much
more
to
discover.
I
couldn't
have
dreamt
of
a
better
programme
where
I
could
make
my
debut
as
a
host.
It
was
enlightening,
it
was
fun,
it
was
surreal."
