Bercerita tentang perjuangan cinta Rama dan Shinta yang dihadapkan banyak penderitaan.
Berawal saat ayah Shinta, yaitu Raja Janaka yang mengadakan sayembara untuk memilih calon suami bagi putrinya, yaitu Shinta. Sayembara itu dimenangkan oleh Rama dan akhirnya mereka menikah. Akibat isu politik di Istana Ayodhya, Rama dan Shinta diasingkan ke hutan. Selama pengasingan seorang Raja Alengka, Rahwana menculik Shinta karena jatuh cinta kepadanya.
Rama berjuang menyelamatkan Shinta dengan bantuan Hanoman, laksmana, dan pasukan kera. Namun, setelah menyelamatkan Shinta, Rama menolak dan meragukan kesucian Shinta. Untuk membuktikan kesuciannya, Shinta akhirnya membakar dirinya sendiri. Shinta terbukti masih suci karena tidak terbakar oleh api. Pada akhirnya, Rama dan Shinta bersatu kembali.
