In Thailand, the kings are referred to as Rāma to this day. One of the provinces of Thailand is Ayutthayā, in memory of Ayodhyā. In Jāvā and Bāli, folk culture and folk art have been significantly influenced by stories from the Rāmāyana. Performances based on the Rāmāyana continue to enthral Indonesians even today. In the islands of the Caribbean, people chanting Rāmcharitmānas and Hanumāna Chalisā are a common sight.
