Reading Notes: Ramayana A

I'd like to think that after Thataka was killed, the landscape started to regrow to its former glory.


Possibly have Mahabali rise from the netherworld and attack Rama. This is due to him being briefly mentioned in a story by Viswamithra.


Lakshmana is an interesting character due to the focus being on Rama - plot twist: have him attack Rama, Viswamithra saves him.


Ganges creation story for the river and for the oceans. (Project idea)


Thinking I might change the plot or introduce new elements. I think the elephants in Mithila are interesting.


Rama has a large amount of wisdom, perhaps because he is Vishnu's avatar.


Some little plot aspects that I would want to change, like mentioned above.


Possible origin story to how Ravana became empowered by the Gods - later.


Use of Mars and Jupiter very interesting because of the connection to Roman mythology.


Have Bharama challenge Rama for the throne, well I wrote this before he was given the throne.
