I found this interactive demo to be pretty awesome. Ramayana is the second largest literary work in the world (Second only to the other Indian epic, the Mahabharata) and has influenced South Asian as well as East/South East Asian cultures for millenia. The version of the Ramayan in this demo is the Indonesian one, thus Sita becomes Shinta and Ravana becomes Rahwhana.
