Most countries have adapted Rama Story acc. to their own culture with a local setting; the Indian names are used for important towns, sites, mountains, rivers, and lakes.
The adoption of Valmiki Story in Asian countries was selective and influenced by local values

The Buddhist work Mahavibhasa (150ce) is oldest record of Ramayana. Hsuan Tsang stated "There is a book called the Rāmāyaṇa...[it] explains only two topics:
1. Rāvana carrying Sītā off by violence
2. Rāma recovering Sītā and returning."

Given my love for #travel, thought I'd compile a thread of some of the best #tourism ads I've seen over the years

Am keeping it restricted to #PrintAds, and only those by #tourismboards, whether national, state or city

Hope you enjoy it 🙂🥂 and are inspired to travel
We could warm up with #Australia's 'So Where The Bloody Hell Are You' campaign, which turned a lot of heads thanks to it's choice of wording and, of course, the stunning visuals
Politeness can be over rated, eh @Australia 🖖🏾
As far as accidental tourism ads go, #Banff in #Canada capitalized on a squirrel photobombing a couple's pic and made him their mascot, even creating a Twitter id for the little fella and featuring him in a whole set of ads

Nicely done @banfflakelouise @Canada

@ScottMorrisonMP @AlboMP @abcnews @andrewprobyn @vanOnselenP @PatsKarvelas While it's clear this Virus is surging globally,3 places on the planet could make what we've seen so far look like a 24hr sniffle. Africa, India & USA!Massive populations,pathetic infrastructure& resourses
In particular, USA..so very late to the party, @realDonaldTrump spewing bullshit, not even #Social_Distancing at his #Pressers ffs! Add to that the fact that USA is gripped &/or strangled by their ridiculous & deluded #Religious beliefs. They think #God is protecting them! Scary!
Closer to home,add another massively populated Third World country with extreme #Religious beliefs - #Indonesia! 260+ million people on a bunch of small islands, no way they're gonna control the spread!#Phillipines also,another crazy regime!This #Pandemic is just getting started!

Aujourd’hui le 30 avril est une date historique au #Vietnam et à #Saigon ou je vis : c’est la fin de la guerre du Vietnam et la chute officielle de la ville aux mains des communistes, le 30 avril 1975
#ChuteDeSaigon #SaigonFall
Cela résulte d’une guerre qui a environ durée presque 20ans de 1964 à 1975
Le #30Avril1975 est la chute officielle/reddition de la ville de Saigon, capitale de la défunte république du Vietnam (Sud Vietnam) aux Nords Vietnamiens communistes et prendra le nom de Ho Chi Minh Ville
La bataille de #Saigon a durée 2jours, les 29/30 avril 1975 et mettra en lumiere, la fin d’une terrible guerre qui aura dévasté le #Vietnam en 20ans
Elle mettra face à face l’armée populaire vietnamienne aidée du #VietCong, force forte de 450.000 hommes vs 31.000 sud vietnamiens
