I noticed the following statement to correct the sentence in an university question paper.
"My mother reads Ramayana every morning."
or
"My mother reads Bible every morning"
Is there anything wrong with the above sentence?
The above statement looked perfectly fine for me.

The tense of the verb ('reads') is appropriate for an action habitually performed. In English texts, the article 'the' is frequently used before the title of the work. Using the definite article 'the' before the title of a sacred or revered work (a "holy book") is common: the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, the Vedas, the Tripitaka etc. Also certain widely known books or works, e.g. the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the A-Z Road Atlas of London, the Canterbury Tales.
