Amish
said,
"Ramayan
is
the
proud
heritage
of
every
single
Indian,
regardless
of
religion,
caste,
language
or
gender.
And
I
discovered
the
truth
of
this
feeling
even
more
as
we
shot
for
this
documentary.
There
were
so
many
lesser-known
stories
and
traditions
that
we
discovered,
some
genuinely
surprising.
What
an
honour
it
has
been,
to
travel
with
the
wonderful
team
of
Discovery
and
Wide
Angle
Films,
as
we
followed
the
path
that
trod
many
millennia
ago,
by
our
God,
Lord
Ram
Himself.
It
was
enlightening,
it
was
fun,
it
was
surreal.'

said,
"Indian
mythology
is
the
melting
pot
of
the
most
magnificent
stories
and
ideas,
yet
largely
underexplored.
Ramayana
continues
to
appeal
to
audiences
across
ages.
While
there
have
been
multiple
iterations
of
the
epic,
we,
at
discovery+
identified
the
opportunity
to
dig
deeper
and
present
our
viewers
with
interesting
details
that
are
less
spoken
of.

geography.
She
further
adds,
"We
couldn't
have
asked
for
a
better
host
than
Amish
Tripathi
to
headline
this
series.
His
enormous
popularity
as
a
writer
and
immense
expertise
in
mythology
makes
him
a
seamless
fit
for
this
series.
As
he
embarks
on
this
epic
adventure,
his
narration
backed
with
anecdotes
and
reasoning
is
sure
to
make
this

a
