The series originally aired from January 25, 1987, to July 31, 1988. It consisted of 78 episodes, each approximately 45 minutes long. It followed the story of Lord Rama, based primarily on Valmiki’s Ramayana and Tulsidas’ Ramcharitmanas .

More importantly, in a post-Emergency India that was still grappling with linguistic, regional, and political fragmentation, Ramayan provided a unifying cultural touchstone. It reminded a newly modernizing nation of its ancient shared heritage. It was watched with equal fervor by Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, and Christians, proving that a well-told story of dharma (righteousness) has universal appeal. ramanand sagar ramayana
