Ramayan: Sabke Jeevan Ka Aadhar is an Indian television series produced by Sagar Pictures which aired on Zee TV. It is an adaptation of Ramcharitmanas.
Ramayan narrates the tale of Rama, who was the eldest of the four sons of Dasharatha, the King of Ayodhya. Rama is to become the king of Ayodhya upon his father's retirement, but his stepmother, Kaikeyi, under the influence of her maid Manthara, desires that her son, Bharata, become the king instead.
Recalling that Dasharatha had once promised to grant her any two boons that she asked of him, she demands first that Rama should be exiled to the forest for 14 years and second that Bharata should be crowned ruler in his stead. Although heartbroken, Dasharatha is compelled to keep his word. Reluctantly, he asks Rama to leave for the forest. Rama happily accepts the exile and leaves for the forest. Ram reluctantly accepts the company of his wife, Sita, and his younger brother, Lakshmana. When Bharata learns that his mother is responsible for Rama's exile, he follows Rama and begs him to return with him to Ayodhya. However, Rama refuses, bound by his duty to carry out his father's promise. Bharata decides instead to bring back to the palace Rama's paduka and places them on the throne as a gesture that Ram is the true king. Upon Ram's insistence, Bharata rules as his proxy over Ayodhya throughout the 14 year exile.
Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana wander the forests, combating evil wherever they encounter it. They gain the blessings of numerous wise men and sages along the way. Twelve years into the exile, Ravan, the King of Lanka, abducts Sita. In their search of her, Rama and Lakshmana create a friendship with Hanuman, Sugriv, Jamvanta, and their army of apes. When they reach Lanka, Rama battles Ravan and ultimately kills him, signifying triumph of good over evil.
