As the brothers lie gravely wounded, Hanuman summons Garud from heaven to free them. However, Garud, perplexed by the divine mystery, questions whether Ram is truly an incarnation of Vishnu or merely a mortal man. On Narad's advice, Garud seeks out Kaakbhushundi, the greatest devotee of Shri Ram, to unravel the divine truth. The journey takes Garud across galaxies to a timeless realm where the sage Kaakbhushundi resides.

The series is helmed by creative director and producer Shiv Sagar, grandson of the late Dr. Ramanand Sagar, whose 1987 adaptation of the Ramayan revolutionized Indian television. With over a billion viewers worldwide, it became the most-watched series of its time, broadcast in more than 65 countries.

Shiv Sagar continues the family legacy, following in the footsteps of his father, Prem Sagar, who directed the iconic Vikram Aur Betal in 1985. That series laid the groundwork for the Ramayan, introducing Indian audiences to a genre that would soon dominate television.
