Ramayana Ballet


Set in an open air amphitheater with a beautiful view of one of the largest Hindu temples in the world we attended the Ballet


The short version of the story is, a princess is to be married to a prince who was chosen but picking up a magic bow. 



The evil guy kidnaps the princess by disguising one of his minions as a deer.  This lurers away the prince. then a beggar comes to where The princess is protected by a magic circle. She steps out of her protective circle to help the beggar, who then changes into the bad guy and whisks her away





After many battles and schemes there is a giant battle with the monkeys against the bad guys. Eventually the monkeys and the prince win. However, the prince wont take the princess to be his wife because he thinks she is not pure anymore. She then proceeds to burn herself to prove her purity. She is saved by the god of fire and they live happily ever after.


In the bathroom at the ballet they have squatting and sitting toilettes. 


However, squatting on a sitting toilette is not permitted..
