THE Hindu story of Rama and Sita was brought to life through the magic of lights at Oxford’s Pitt Rivers Museum.

Alexa Lee, four, of Cumnor, was among those entranced by a puppet show and also by her own shadow puppet creation.

Rama and Sita tells the story of Prince Rama’s quest to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king, Ravana.

Alexa’s mum, Laikin, said afterwards: “She thought it was fun. It was the story of a prince going to rescue a princess so she was quite intrigued.”
