Answer
Two great Indian epics are the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The Ramayana teaches us values such as duty (dharma), devotion, loyalty, and the triumph of good over evil, while the Mahabharata teaches us important moral and philosophical lessons about justice, fate, and the consequences of one's actions.
