Question

In the Ramcharitmanas, an epic poem written by Tulsidas, which Kaand (episode) comes after the Sundar Kaand?

• A. Lanka Kaand
• B. Ayodhya Kaand
• C. Kishkindha Kaand
• D. Aranya Kaand

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Lanka Kaand

In the Ramcharitmanas, after the Sundar Kaand, the next Kaand (episode) is the Lanka Kaand, which focuses on the events surrounding the battle in Lanka. The Ramcharitmanas, composed by the poet-saint Tulsidas in the sixteenth century during a dynamic period of religious reform, was instrumental in making the story of Ram-and his divine feats against Ravan, the demon king of Lanka-widely accessible to the common people for the first time.
