This is the first time the childhood experiences from the Ramayana are explored in any format, making this show unique for children

His life is full of positivity, righteousness, hope and optimism nomatter what life hurled on him. Inspired from the eternal Valmiki Ramayana, we created these wonderful stories from his childhood which is full of fun, adventure, and learning. It’s our wish and hope, that these stories will surely inspire and engage the children of Bharat and around the world, especially at times when many places around the world are at conflict. I’m extremely happy and optimistic with this association with Toonz Media Group, which has been doing great contribution in bringing out the best content and taking it to wider audience, needless to say “Sriman Rama” too will enthrall the audience around the world” Says Satyakashi Bhargava, the Writer and Director of “Sriman Rama” and Promoter of Mara Creations.
