Man Retells Ramayan Through AI Images, Internet Says 'Should Be Turned Into A Book'

The Pran Pratishtha ceremony at the newly-built Ram Mandir in Ayodhya was held on January 22. The well-illuminated temple has been making the headlines ever since the preparations for consecration started on January 16. Content related to the Ram temple, stories featuring the Ramayan, and plenty of pictures and videos connected to the occasion and Hindu mythology have emerged on social media platforms. This has enabled the general public to grow more aware of the epic, written by Saint Valmiki. Walking along a similar vein, a digital creator has grabbed the eyeballs of the internet population after he demonstrated the Ramayan epic through artificial intelligence (AI) imagery.

In a series of pictorial graphics on X (formerly known as Twitter), the creator narrated Ramayan’s tale with his visually gripping artwork and storytelling. “The COMPLETE RAMAYANA by Maharishi Valmiki. In under 60 posts. Made with AI,” he wrote. The amazing AI-generated illustrations showed the Ramayan characters in colourful portraits, beginning with a fierce portrayal of Lord Ram, aiming his arrow against the backdrop of fire, thunder, and lightning. From giving an overview of the Ayodhya landscape to creating imaginary photos of King Dasharatha, Sita, and Lakshman, the pictorial graphics have it all.

While the entire narrative was written in simple words, the vivid photographs embedded with the lines arrested the attention of many. Terrifying images of Surpanakha and Ravana also made it to the string of pics. Some intense fight sequences with a dramatic play of colours were also incorporated within the pictures, giving them a realistic appeal.

Soon after the pictures surfaced on the internet, social media users were left awe-struck by the stunning graphics. They lauded the art and the artist in the comments. While one user noted, “So beautiful. Would be fantastic to see Ramayana and Mahabharata made using AI,” another quipped, “This is really good. Could you please do more of it?” A third individual suggested, “This should be turned into a book. Damn, it is great.” “Absolutely brilliant,” read a fourth appreciative remark.

So far, the AI-created pictures have amassed over 1.3 million views and over 24,000 thousand likes on X. Were you also impressed by this modern Ramayan retelling?
