Kapih, is a story of a Vaanar (monkey), who is just a commoner from the ancient times of legends of Ramayana. Kapih touches on the idea of a commoner’s existence during the times of great events.

One day, the protagonist Vaanar, finds that his village and forest are being attacked, getting burnt and destroyed by some unknown enemy soldiers. In the midst of this, his beloved anklet goes missing. All he wants now is simply to find his missing anklet. On this quest, he goes out on an adventure to find it and feed his curiosity about who is behind all this.

He soon finds out about a good king, Rama, who comes from a distant land searching for his wife kidnapped by a bad guy, Ravana, who happens to be the source of Vaanar’s problems as well. Its this Ravana’s army that is destroying his village and forest. Finding a common ground, he decides to follow Hanuman’s lead, who is heading the Vaanar-sena (army of monkeys) to help Rama’s cause.

His path coincides with many noteworthy events of the Legends of Ramayana and the story is of a warrior who, otherwise unnoticeable, is an important piece of the events. It is an unsung hero’s story.
