Ramayana, The Lesser Heroes II - Sugreeva

Critical to the main story, but rarely spoken of, and never in the same hushed whispers of awed reverence as the protagonists, the series  attempts to highlight the lesser heroes of a magnificent epic, without whom the epic itself would have paled in its essence. 

Sugreeva the monkey King and the general of the Vanar Sena that assisted in the victory over the evil antagonist. Sugreeva bravely attacks Kumbhakarna of the opposing forces with a tree trunk and is almost killed in the battle. 

The Epic has international reach and popularity - from the coasts of India to the shores of the Indonesian Islands (not just Hindu Bali). Hence characters have forms that are not necessarily ‘Indian’ in their appearance.
