Description:

The Ramakien (literally "Glory of Rama"; sometimes also spelled Ramakian) is Thailand's national epic, derived from the Hindu epic Ramayana. Three versions currently exist, one of which was prepared in 1797 under the supervision of (and partly written by) King Rama I. Although Thailand is considered a Theravada Buddhist society, the Hindu mythology latent in the Ramakien serves to provide Thai legends with a creation myth, as well as representations of various spirits which complement beliefs derived from Thai animism. A painted representation of the Ramakien is displayed at Bangkok's Wat Phra Kaew, and many of the statues there depict characters from it. The 2 km long painting is constantly being restored by university art students. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
