About Sundarkand Path
About this puja
Sundara Kanda is the Ramayana's chapter of hope: Hanuman leaps to Lanka, finds Sita, gives her Rama's ring and sets the city alight. Families recite it for courage and to clear obstacles — sung from Tulasidasa's Ramacharitamanas with bhajans, or read from Valmiki's Sundara Kanda over one or several days, as Kannada homes often do.
