A Love Story

Rama, the eldest son of King Dasharata, was exiled to live in the forest for 14 years, accompanied by his beloved wife, Princess Sita. Although they lived happily in the forest together, their joy was short-lived. The demon king, Ravana, abducted Sita from Rama. Driven by deep loyalty and love for Sita, Rama searched for her everywhere, climbing mountains and crossing seas, never giving up. Meanwhile, Sita remained steadfast in her loyalty to Rama, refusing Ravana’s advances or any inappropriate actions from him.

With the help of an army of monkeys, Rama reached Ravana’s kingdom, rescued Sita, and defeated the demon king. Thanks to their loyalty to each other, Rama and Sita overcame all obstacles. They then returned to their kingdom, where they were crowned rulers, continuing the reign after Rama’s father happily.

Battambang’s #1 cultural attraction

 

“I did not know what to expect. What I experienced was truly exceptional. The music, art, performances were at an extremely high level. This is a must see.”
