Ramayan had already taken over social media with funny memes and jokes and now after becoming the highest-viewed entertainment show, all platforms have been flooded with hilarious posts. Ever since the first episode of the Ramayan re-telecast was aired, memes on the characters' dialogues, Lakhsman's comebacks went viral. Then there were so many who could relate to Kumbhkaran, and memes made on Ravana's brother who slept and ate most of his time, took over social media.
Memes on Vibhishan, another brother of Ravan who took Ram ji's side were loved too. However, now that the show has become the most-viewed show worldwide, let's check out some of the best Ramayan memes online:

Ramayan has beaten some major records. CBS's popular 1970s show MASH had previously earned the highest 50.5 million viewership for an entertainment show and Ramayan has beaten it! Well, if there existed some kind of meme-record, Ramayan would have surely beaten that too, because from the past few weeks we have laughed our hearts out over Ramayan memes.
