Ramayan, the immortal classic is once again entertaining viewers all over. The artistic rendition of Lord Ram’s story has enamored audiences across age groups. The show being telecast on India’s leading GEC – StarPlus has been creative waves on the TRP charts as well. It’s a well-known fact that this mythological show had a huge impact on the country and its social strata. The entire country would come to a standstill when Ramayan aired on every Sunday. 

Ramayan had earned a loyal audience which ensured to watch each and every episode. As per excerpts from the book ‘An Epic Life: Ramanand Sagar: From Barsaat to Ramayan’, people would postpone and reschedule important events to ensure that no one misses even a single episode of the mythological classic.

People would go berserk if there was a power outage when Ramayan would be telecast!
