Description
Tulsidas (1532-1623 AD) , poet and philosopher, told the story of Ram, prince of Ayodhya, in Avadhi, a dialect of Hindi spoken in Ayodhya,Uttar Pradesh. Ram Charit Manas consists of over a thousand stanzas, each about 10 to 18 lines. Over the years it has been dramatised and performed by numerous theatre troupes. The dramatisation is known as Ramlila and has become an integral part of Dussehra celebrations
By telling the story of Ram in a common language, Tulsidas made the Ramayan, which was written originally in Sanskrit, accessible to the masses.
