The Yama Zatdaw was introduced by oral tradition during King Anawratha's reign although it was not known clearly whether the story was Valmiki’s Sanskrit epic Ramayana or not. In the Nathlaung Temple, the Visnu temple, within the walls of old city Bagan, there are some stone sculptures, one of which is Ramachandra. Based on Burmese literature, at least, Hanuman has been known in Burma definitely before 1527 AD. The Burmese Ramayana was influenced greatly by Ayutthaya Kingdom, during which various Konbaung Dynasty kings invaded the kingdom. The invasions often brought back spoils of war, including elements of Ramakien (Thai version of Ramayana) into the epic. Rama sā-khyan, one of the well known literature in Burma, is believed to be composed in 1775 by U Aung Phyo which begins with Bala kanda and ends at Yudha kanda as in Valmiki's Ramayana. There are also important Burmese literature and classical music related to the Ramayana which were developed in that era such as U Toe's Yama yakan (Rama's song, ရာမရကန် and Thida yakan (Sita's song, သီတာရကန်), both written in 1784; Yama pyazat (Ramayana ballet, ရာမပြဇာတ်) in 1789; and Kalay Yama wuthtu (Young Rama's life, ကလေးရာမဝတ္ထု) in 1800.[1]
Gorgeous stage backdrop. Dazzling costumes. Lavish performances. Haunting traditional music sounds. What more can I say about Myanmar culture? Love from Singapore.💐
Wow,,, I have never watched the Myanmar Ramayana this good before. They performed two most important parts of the story in the most poetic way. The Myanmar traditional classical music is also played at the best that I have ever listened. Both the performers and musicians are top-notch talented artists. Thank you for uploading to RU-vid.

@@sreemantripathy7982 Yeah I know bro. It's true that Myanmar has been influenced by India. But Myanmar adapted it to create a own unique performance. With stories based on Indian literature. Also,I don't mean the Ramayana is belong to Myanmar.
