Rama and Laksamana, attended by their servants and the monkey generals Sugriwa and Hanuman march their monkey army to Alengka to attach and destroy Rahwana.
Why? I have no idea but that was the general plot. Rahwana makes Sita (Rama's husband) believe Rama has been destroyed and Trijata has to stop her from killing herself. Who's Trijata? I'm not sure but then I don't know who Meganada is either (apart from Rahwana's son) and he's the main bad guy using sorcery to trap the monkey army. Then the mighty bird Garuda (isn't that an airline?) comes to help Rama. Battles ensue and Rama wins. I think. He's the good guy isn't he?
So, I couldn't entirely follow the plot but the dancing was excellent and only cost 80,000. Dances are performed in several places every night in Ubud and are well worth it.
