  • On January 22, bangkok Beta was released. However, did you know that the Masks Collection (Khon Mask) is associated solely with the representation of the Ramayana epic, known in Thai as the Ramakien (translated as the Glory of Rama)? Below is the short introduction of the mask and what character is associated with the mask. The Ramakien (รามเกียรติ์) is Thailand's national epic, derived from the Indian Ramayana epic. A number of versions of the epic were lost in the destruction of Ayutthaya in 1767. Three versions currently exist, one of which was prepared in 1797 under the supervision of (and partly written by) King Rama I. His son, Rama II, rewrote some parts of his father's version for khon drama. The work has had an important influence on Thai literature, art and drama (both the khon and nang dramas being derived from it). While the main story is identical to that of the Ramayana, many other aspects were transposed into a Thai context, such as the clothes, weapons, topography, and elements of nature, which are described as being Thai in style. While Thailand is considered a Theravada Buddhist society, the Hindu mythology derived from the Ramakien serves to provide Thai legends with a creation myth, as well as representations for the spirits that both help and hinder humans on their way to enlightenment, as well as a balance to the superstitions derived from Tai animism. A painted representation of the Ramakien is displayed at Bangkok's Wat Phra Kaew, and many of the statues there depict characters from it.
