Prologue:
An incarnation of Lord Vishnu, Rama was born in the city of Ayodhya to destroy the ten-headed evil demon Ravana. As time passed, Rama mastered the art of warriors and his father Dasaratha decided Rama to be his successor. But fortune played differently ; to sooth his father’s promises to Kaikeyi, Rama decided to go into exile for fourteen years.
Period during Exile:
Rama, wife Sita and brother Lakshmana lived in forest and Rama, a mighty warrior, protected the holy sages by destroying the evil demons. Their exile journey passed and they completed ten years of exile.Once they reached a beautiful place Panchavati near the banks of River Godavari. One day, demon Shurpanakha saw Rama’s charm and fell in love instantly. She pleaded to marry her but Rama rejected her, so she angrily tried to harm Sita and so Lakshmana cut off her nose. She ran away to her brother demon Ravana to seek help and asked to avenge them. When she informed about beauty of Sita, Ravana planned to get lovely Sita as a revenge on Rama.
Ravana flew on his chariot to Panchavati and was successful to abduct Sita to his palace in Lanka. Sita was imprisoned in his garden with evil guards.
