Prof. (History) New Standard College of Higher Education Salethu, Raebareli Ramayana is the most popular epic not only in India but also in the world especially in south- East Asian Countries. The story of Rama first reached Myanmar as it did several South east Asian Countries with the early Indian Traders and Merchants, some of whom settled down to form Hindu communities. The oral narration of the Rama story, or the Ramayana, Preceded the visual depictions, which in turn were followed by literary renditions in prose and poetry and later by dramatic performances. In some periods these four aspects of the Ramayana traditions Co-existed, over lapping Intermingling and influencing each other. In modern times we have the Ramayana in video and movies. The first pictorial evidence of the Ramayana being known in Myanmar is from the early Began Period. The dramatic performance of the Ramayana first Started in the Late 18th century had a strong influence, from the Thai in Costumes and masks, plot and characterisation, but that the Myanmar people adapted it to fit in with their own tradition and culture as they had already received the Ramayana from India, Assam, Manipur and Laos from earlier times. Though the Ramayana has been a popular tale Myanmar for a thousand years or more with literary versions for reading for about three hundred years and dramatic performance Popular with the public for about two hundred years or so.
