Prince Rama (previously Prince Rama of Ayodhya) was a two-piece "now age" psych-dance band based in Brooklyn, New York, founded by sisters Taraka Larson and Nimai Larson.

Discovered by Animal Collective's Avey Tare in a Texas dive bar in 2010, the band signed to Paw Tracks shortly thereafter, and have since released Shadow Temple and Trust Now, which peaked at #3 and #6 on the Billboard New Age Charts respectively.{{cite web |url={{BillboardURLbyName|artist=prince rama|chart=all}} |title= Billboard New Age Chart |accessdate= May 8, 2013}}

In four years, Prince Rama have released six albums and toured in four of the seven continents, recording with members of Animal Collective and Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. Taraka recently published a manifesto on "Now Age" that puts forth Prince Rama’s aesthetic and metaphysical philosophies.

On August 20, 2019, Taraka Larson announced that the band had been disbanded.{{cite web |last1=Minsker |first1=Evan |title=Prince Rama Call It Quits, Release Farewell EP Rage in Peace: Listen |url=https://pitchfork.com/news/prince-rama-call-it-quits-release-farewell-ep-rage-in-peace-listen/ |website=Pitchfork |accessdate=August 21, 2019 |date=August 20, 2019}}
