Nitesh Tiwari Ramayan Story
The Ramayan story written by Rishi Valmiki, with the order of Lord Brahma. After Rishi Valmiki, many writers wrote the Ramayan in thier own opinion. But in an interview, Nitesh Tiwari told that he would follow the story of Valmiki’s Ramayan because he believes that Valmiki’s Ramayan is the original Ramayan, and at that time Rishi Valmiki had the power to watch the future.
Nitesh Tiwari Ramayan based on Rishi Valmiki’s Ramayan. Ramayan is the story of the Treta Yuga, based on the entire life of Lord Ram. Lord Ram is the seventh avatar of Lord Vishnu. During that time King Dasharath ruled the kingdom of Ayodhya. He had three wives: Kausalya, Sumitra and Kaikeyi. Lord Ram was the eldest son of King Dasharath and Queen Kausalya. Ram was a very punctual son, and king Dasharath admired his simplicity. The people of Ayodhya also loved Ram for his himplicity and for his kind behaviour and wished for him to become their king of Ayodhya.
When the time came for Ram to be the king of Ayodhya, then Queen Kaikeyi suddenly decided to send him to the forest for 14 years. Because of Kaikayi wanted her son Bharat to become the king of Ayodhya. And following Kaikayi’s order, Ram, Lakshman and SIta, went to the forest for 14 years. During their exile, the king of Lanka, Ravan, forcefully took Sita to his kingdom. And then Ram and Lakshman, with the help of the monkey team, attacked on Lanka and successfully killed Ravan, reclaimed Sita from Ravan and returned to their home, Ayodhya.
Ramayan is a very big story but in above this is the short note on Ramayan. Nitesh Tiwari decided that he will deirect the entire Ramayan in two parts. The first part will be release on Diwali 2026 and the second part will be release on 2027.
