Author: SowmyaNovember 14 2009 7 Commented

Our Ramayana quiz is one of the hanusitamost popular quizzes on this site and we thought, we would follow it up with another quiz on Ramayana. However, this one is on the women in Ramayana. Many of these characters are well known and recognized, but we have also included some who are lesser known.

Go ahead and test yourself on how well you know the Ramayan women. The winner of our “Symbol” Quiz are Dvani and Chitra Devaraj! Congrats to you both on the high score & Check out your winner badge at the quiz page!

A special mention goes out to Vidya & Ranga – the “Made for Each Other” couple who tied in with the same score albeit from different locations!

Do put your comment on how you fare in this quiz and whether you like it or not, because we love to hear from you. If you can add a bit about a little known woman character in Ramayana or a little known fact about a well known character, you will earn some bonus points..

Happy Quizzing

    Any exercise on the epics, Indian or Western, is a piece of joy for me. I should say I am happy at the sight of your attempt. I am sorry I should not be one of the contestants for the quiz.

    Namaskar Sowmyaji! Myself and Dvani tried the quiz. We scored 9/10 – most of the answers given by Dvani (her Ramayana paaraayanam has helped her a lot)and the one answered by me went wrong.

    Good quiz.

    love and pranams
