THE RAMAYANA traditionally ascribed to the Maharishi Valmiki, narrates the life of Rama, the legendary Kosala Kingdom. It follows his fourteen-year exile to the forest by his father King Dasharatha, on request of his step-mother Kaikeyi, his travels across forests in India with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana, the kidnapping of his wife by Ravana, the great king of Lanka, resulting in a war with him and Rama's eventual return to Ayodhya to be crowned king. This is the culmination point of the epic. It is considered a sacred book, and is read by millions of people every year.

THE MAHABHARATA, where the main story revolves around two branches of a family - the Pandavas and Kauravas. Who, in the Kurukshetra War, battle for the throne of Hastinapura. Krishna-Dwaipayan Vyasa, himself a character in the epic composed it. According to tradition, he dictated the verses and Ganesha wrote them down. At 100,000 verses, it is the longest epic poem ever written, generally thought to have been composed in the 4th century BCE or earlier.
The Mahabharata is not a mere epic; it is a romance, telling the tale of heroic men and women, and of some who were divine; it is a whole literature in itself, containing a code of life, a philosophy of social and ethical relations, and speculative thought on human problems that is hard to rival.

The Ramayana and The Mahabharata are the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, they together form the Hindu Itihasa.
