Written by Valmiki, a dacoit-turned-sage who lived at the same time as Ram himself, Ramayana follows the path of Ram. From his birth, valorous deeds, winning of the hand of Seeta in marriage, exile and suffering from Ayodhya, battle with Ravan to his final triumphant return to his kingdom as the slayer of the demon of Lanka, this epic is a guide to navigating the complex pathways of life through the inspiration of paramatma taking an avatar to mingle with earthly beings and share their joys, sorrows and challenges.

Beautifully illustrated with paintings from the Mewar Ramayana commissioned by Maharana Jagat Singh of Mewar (reg. 1628–52), this is the first time that paintings from different locations have been put together in one volume. In the hands of mid-seventeenth century artists the story of Ram has been turned artistically into a sophisticated expression of Rajput ideals and society.

J.P. Losty (1945–2021) was Curator-in-charge of the extensive Indian visual collections in the British Library in London. He worked in the Print, Drawings and Photographs section of the British Library; first as curator and retiring as head of the section in 2005. Between 2010 and 2021, he was regularly invited to contribute to a range of exhibition catalogues including The Indian Portrait, Princes and Painters in Mughal Delhi and Masters of Indian Painting. Jerry published many books and papers on various aspects of the paintings of India from the 12th to the 19th centuries. His major books include The Art of the Book in India (1982), Calcutta City of Palaces (1990), Sita Ram’s Painted Views of India: Lord Hastings’s Journey from Calcutta to the Punjab, 1814- 15 (2015), and Court and Courtship: Indian Miniatures in the Tapi Collection (2020). In acknowledgement of his lifetime work on Indian art, he was awarded the Colonel James Tod award in Udaipur in March 2016.

Sumedha Verma Ojha, author, speaker and columnist on ancient India and the epics, was born in Patna. She joined the Indian Revenue Service after graduating from Lady Sri Ram College and completing her postgraduation from the Delhi School of Economics.

After almost two decades in the civil services she resigned to follow her passion – ancient India.
She lives in Switzerland and writes and speaks across the world on ancient Indian
history, society, culture, religion and the epics with special focus on a gendered analysis of ancient India.
She is also the author of Urnabhih, a historical fiction series set in Mauryan India.
