Kandas

Valmiki’s Ramayana is written in seven Kandas(books) known as Bala Kanda, Ayodhya Kanda, Aranya Kanda, Kishkindha Kanda, Sundara Kanda, Yuddha Kanda, and Uttara Kanda. Even Ramcharitmanas is divided into seven books, or Kandas.

However, Tulsidas renamed the Yuddha Kanda as the Lanka Kanda. This is one of the major differences between Ramayana and Ramcharitmanas.
