The stories are mainly from Ramayana and Mahabharata, they are two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. The epics were already adapted into Javanese culture, so both have slight differences from the original. Other stories were created specifically for wayang kulit, but still using main characters from original Ramayana and Mahabharata. Also, there are many characters you can not find from the original epics.
