Rama Trail: Narrative Geography from Ayodhya to Rameshwaram

This immersive journey traces the Ramayana across major pilgrimage and cultural nodes, examining how the epic narrative translates into sacred city planning, devotional movement, landscape interpretation, and performance traditions.

Students engage with Ayodhya and Chitrakoot as sacred civic centers, explore the Hampi region through a Kishkinda narrative lens, and conclude in Rameshwaram, where the epic intersects with coastal sacred geography.

The program integrates literature, anthropology, performance studies, and governance analysis to understand how a shared narrative produces regional variation while sustaining national cultural continuity.
