The narrative follows their exile, Sita's abduction by the demon king Ravana, and Rama's quest to rescue her with the help of Hanuman and an army of monkeys. The ballet often incorporates Javanese dance forms, intricate costumes, and traditional music, typically performed against a backdrop that evokes the essence of ancient Indonesia.
