PHRA LAK PHRA LAM
|'''Phra Lak Phra Lam''', pronounced [ ] (in Lao script: ພຮະລັກພຮະຮາມ), is the Lao version of India's ''Ramayana''. The title comes from the Lao names for Lakshmana and Rama. ''Phra Lak Phra Lam'' also exists in Northeast Thailand where there is a large population of ethnic Lao. There are several versions of this story, each slighty different but also similar to the ''Ramakien'' in Thailand.
Originally written on palm leaf manuscripts, the story of ''Phra Lak Phra Lam'' has also been adapted to Lao ballet where it is known by the same title. The story is considered by Laotians to be a Jataka tale and regarded as very sacred. It is also believed that Prince Rama is actually an incarnation of the Buddha contrary to other versions which traditionally regard Rama as an incarnation of Vishnu.
