Kaal, the times, samay as we would refer to him was played by Om Puri, who in his voice narrated how he witnessed Ramayan, travelling through the events one by one, samay is the sutradaar or the narrator who sees and forsees the fortune of the characters of Ramayan as they progress through his being with the decisions they make, with the karama they do, Kaal and Om Puri are both inspirational in stating that time witnesses all.
 

 
Hanuman, the humble follower.
