The story of the Monkey Bridge to Lanka, an episode from the Hindu epic The Ramayana, tells how the god Vishnu, in human form as Rama, outwits the evil Ravana. While living in exile with Sita and Lakshmana, Rama angers Ravana who abducts Sita in a fit of revenge. The gods in animal form help Rama reach Lanka, rescue Sita, and defeat the king of the demons.
