Choreographed by Sharanya Swaminathan, this piece depicts the story of Lord Rama, with Ahalya and Devi Sita asking him to listen to the secrets of their hearts. Brief excerpts of the Ramayana are also shown, such as Queen Kaikeyi sending Lord Rama to the forest for fourteen years, Guhan rowing the trio across the river to Chitrakoot, Sita seeing the golden deer and the demon Ravana kidnapping her, meeting Hanuman, and destroying Ravana. The dancer portrays Lord Vishnu in his avatar, Rama, as one who shows us the righteous path.
