I believe this image would be better for the main infobox image than the one currently used. This image depicts a central event, the slaying of the principal antagonist Rāvaṇa by Rāma, the climax of the main narrative. It originates from a historic manuscript which depicts that the Rāmāyaṇa is a poem through the text. No other image on the page depicts manuscript text so far. This would also be inline with other epic pages's images, such as Mahabharata, Iliad, and Odyssey which depict their texual nature in the infobox image.

This page meets all criteria for good article, how can it be promoted to good article Anand 12:26, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
I do not think it is appropriate to include mention of Raṅganātha in the Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa section. Firstly, there is no specific mention of Raṅga or Raṅganātha in the cited source ([1]). The cited lines state only that Rāma worshipped Nārāyaṇa in the Critical Edition of the Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa. There is no mention of Raṅganātha, merely Nārāyaṇa.[2] Second, it is put in the main Rāmāyaṇa article's summary of the text's plot, and as such the summary should only contain the most critical pieces of information about the plot. The inclusion that Rāma worshipped Nārāyaṇa (or Raṅganātha, if it was mentioned so) as part of the pre-consencration rituals is unneccessary in a summary of the text. Pinging User:Narayanan Iyengar.

I am wondering that the script is definitely NOT Devanagiri. It may be in Brahmi or after Indus Scrip? Sarma Pisapati (talk) 19:35, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
