I liked the part where Bharata put sandals on Rama’s feet, then sent them back to Ayodya to become the place-holder for Rama when he returns to be king. One completely tangent story could be a servant in Ayodya that has to tend to the gold shoes. It could involve his thoughts on the idea, as well as his daily duties to the “king”. The shoes could have magical powers that he discovers in secret. Knowing this, it could be a story on what he decided to do with this celestial shoes.
The Death of Viradha
One story I found to be very exciting was the death of Viradha. He was immortal to death by war, so Rama and Lakshmana had to think outside the box to come up with a way to keep him from killing them. This portion of the story was not very long, so I could embellish with dialogue, or more description of the happenings. I might even come up with an alternate form of death for Viradha, since the entire purpose is for him to die then ascend to heaven.
The Saintly Woman
While Rama and Lakshmana were on their way to find Sita, they found a woman, Shabari, there waiting for them. If I were to use this for Storytelling, I could do a sort of prequel. In it, I could have the conversation between her and the saints, and then possibly right up until they arrived. It would be the fast-forward version of all the time she spent alone. There could be silly parts where she goes a little stir-crazy, and serious ones where she longs to die.
