There is a great fantasy style retelling of the Ramayana by the Indian writer Ashok K. Banker. The first volume is called "Prince of Ayodhya". The whole series comes to 6 or 7 volumes but the first volume is absolutely great. Gods and demons, magic, love, evil plots, betrayal, loyalty, everything you need in a great fantasy saga.
I read it in paper format several years ago but it is now available in eBook format too. See link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/RAMAYANA-SER...2182039&sr=8-2
Incidentally, there is also a retelling of the Welsh saga, the Mabinogion, by Evangeline Walton in 4 volumes. This too reads like a great fantasy saga.
