Manila, Nov 13 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the performance of Rama Hari, a musical based on the Ramayana, after he watched it live during the opening ceremony of ASEAN summit in Manila.

The Prime Minister took to Twitter to share his experience.

"You would be happy to know that the @ASEAN opening ceremony included excerpts from the musical Rama Hari, based on the Ramayana. Various parts of the Ramayana were beautifully highlighted in the Rama Hari. This shows our deep historical bonds and shared heritage,"he tweeted.

"The Ramayana is widely popular among ASEAN nations. I compliment the cast and crew of Rama Hari for their stupendous performance at the ASEAN Summit," an ensuing tweet read.

Ramayana, one of the two main Vedic epics, originally written by the sage Valmiki, revolves around Lord Rama, an incarnation of Vedic God Vishnu, the preserver.
