Reamker : "Sita's Abduction"
Reamker // Sita's Abduction, by Princess Buppa Devi Dance School
Prince Preah Ream, accompanied by his wife Neang Seda and his half-brother Preah Leak, leave their kingdom of Ayodhya. In the forest of
Dandaka, the King of the giants Krong Reap sees them and immediately falls in love with the beautiful Neang Seda. He then imagines several
subterfuges to isolate the princess and abducts her to his palace in Langka. Preah Ream, with the help of his general, the valiant Hanuman,
raises an army to build a bridge to reach the island of Langka. They enter the giant's palace and engage in the battle that will see
his victory over Krong Reap. Freed from the Giant's grip, Neang Seda implores her husband's forgiveness, and must undergo the
ordeal of fire which will attest to her perfect fidelity and her unwavering love for her husband. Back in the capital of Ayodhya, the couple
is welcomed as sovereigns.
