In a post-apocalyptic future, human civilization is reduced to one final city, a gleaming beacon in an otherwise nightmarish world, and a handful of desolate outpost villages. The surviving humans co-exist alongside several new races of anthropomorphic beast-men, in a tenuous treaty that allows some hope for a brighter future. But outside this tiny pocket of civilization, the world is a forbidding place, controlled by the dark lord Ravan, and his demonic armies.

When Ravan’s forces finally invade, the final fate of Humanity, as well as the very soul of the beleaguered planet itself, rests in the hands of Prince Rama, who, despite being marked by the Gods with blue skin, is a reluctant hero at best.

Based on one of India’s greatest epic legends, this series was co-created by acclaimed author and New Age guru Deepak Chopra and filmmaker Shekhar Kapur.
