And finally a Ramayana that’s also fun to watch!
Talk about different versions of the Ramayana – it’s about time we had a version that was also fun to view!
On the same Sepia Mutiny discussion page I blogged about (below), I discovered a link to a series of short animated films made by an American artist named Nina Paley.
The original title of the animated film she set out to make is ‘Sitayana’ but apparently, it’s since been changed to ‘Sita Sings the Blues’ or perhaps that’s only the title of one segment.
Anyway, I’ve checked out a couple of the ‘in-progress’ short episodes.
And they’re absolutely hilarious, darling, and great fun to watch!
Whoever this Nina Paley is, she deserves a big hand of applause for dusting off the saffron cobwebs and shaking Sita’s and Rama’s tail feathers with this delightful, and deliciously cute little creation.
You’ll find a link to Sitayana – or “Sita Sings the Blues” as it’s also called, on the same Sepia Mutiny page. Or just Google it.
Trust me, it’s a blast!

A very limited number of copies of the AKB Books edition will be available again soon - and the Penguin mass market edition will be out in a few months!
The long-awaited final volume in the Ramayana Series will be issued in a very Limited Edition by AKB Books, while the mass market paperback will be published early next year by Penguin Books!
