A Brothers Bond

The classic bond of the Rama-Lakshman ‘Jodi’. The unconditional bond between two brothers. Step but step together supporting and protecting each other. The original scriptures were written in Sanskrit by the Sage Valmiki in the epic Ramayana. Its tells the story of the majestic bond between two brothers.
