This is the Ramayana story. Long ago, on the banks of the Sarayu River, the wise King Dasharatha ruled over the Kingdom of Ayodhya. Despite having three wives, the King had no children. Vasishta, the chief priest, advised Dasharatha to perform a fire sacrifice in order to obtain a boon from the gods. The gods were pleased because he did so. One of them emerged from the flames and handed him a pot of nectar. Dasharatha was instructed by the god to share the nectar with his three Queens, Kausalya, Kaikeyi, and Sumitra.


The three Queens eventually had sons. Sumitra had twins, Lakshmana and Shatrughan, while Kausalya had Rama and Kaikeyi had Bharatha. The entire Kingdom was overjoyed. The four young Princes were bright and pleasant. They adored each other, but Rama and Lakshmana shared a special bond.




One day, sage Vishwamitra approached Dasharatha and asked him to send Rama to the forest with him to kill a demon who was constantly disrupting the sages' fire sacrifices. Dasharatha dispatched Rama and Lakshmana to accompany Vishwamitra, and Rama was successful in killing the hideous and terrible demon Tadaka. Vishwamitra was overjoyed, as were the gods.



Vishwamitra then took the young Princes to Mithila, a neighbouring kingdom ruled by King Janaka. In Mithila, Rama succeeded in stringing a great bow given to him by Lord Shiva, something that many others had tried and failed to do. This earned him the hand of Janaka's daughter Sita in marriage. Rama married Sita and they had a long and happy marriage. Dasharatha decided that Rama should be crowned King. Everyone was happy because Rama was a good man, Prince.



Manthara, Kaikeyi's maid, was not pleased. She desired that her Queen's son, Bharatha, become King. Kaikeyi's mind was poisoned by Manthara. She resolved to request the two boons Dasharatha had promised her. Kaikeyi requested that Dasharatha appoint Bharatha as King and confine Rama in the forest for fourteen years. King Dasharatha was devastated, but he was obligated to keep his promise. Rama, accompanied by Sita and Lakshmana, set out for the forest without hesitation. Dasharatha died soon after, and the entire Kingdom was in mourning.

Bharatha was horrified by his mother's actions. He went to the forest to convince Rama to come back. Bharatha took Rama's footwear and placed it on the throne when he refused. He declared that he would rule until Rama returned. Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana lived in the forest, surrounded by nature's beauty and peace. Birds sang, streams gurgled, and thousands of flowers bloomed.



Something terrible happened one day. Soorpanakha, a she-demon, saw Rama and wanted to marry him. When Rama refused, she requested that Lakshmana marry her. She attacked Sita, enraged by his refusal. When Lakshmana saw this, he rushed to help Sita. Soorpanakha went to his brother, Ravana, King of Lanka, and requested that they be punished for insulting her.



Ravana dispatched his uncle Mareecha, who assumed the form of a golden deer, to entice Sita. When Sita saw this, she asked Rama to catch it. Rama pursued the deer until it was shot. While Mareecha was dying, he used his magic to summon Lakshmana in Rama's voice. Sita was terrified when she heard Rama's voice and dispatched Lakshmana to assist him. Before departing, Lakshmana drew a magical line to protect Sita and instructed her not to cross it under any circumstances.



Ravana appeared in the guise of the sage as soon as Lakshmana left. When Sita told him that she couldn't cross the line and give him food, he was offended. Sita ignored Lakshmana's warning and crossed the line when she saw him angry. Ravana grabbed her and flew away to Lanka as soon as she crossed the line. Hearing her cries, Jatayu, the King of Eagles, attempted to assist her, but Ravana severely injured him.



Rama and Lakshmana set out to find Sita. Jatayu informed them that Ravana had kidnapped Sita. Rama killed the demon Kabandha on their way, releasing him from the curse. The demon suggested they meet Sugriva, who would be of great assistance in finding Sita. They followed the demon's advice and went to see Sugriva. Sugriva agreed to assist if he killed Bali, Sugriva's brother. Rama defeated Bali, and Sugriva ascended to the position of Monkey King. Sugriva kept his promise and asked his chief, Hanuman, and his entire army to assist him.



Rama dispatched Hanuman to find Sita. Hanuman discovered Sita in one of Ravana's palace gardens. He gave her Rama's ring and assured her that Rama would soon come to her aid. Ravana's soldier apprehended Hanuman and brought him to Ravana. Hanuman then requested that Ravana release Sita, but Ravana refused. He captured Hanuman and set fire to his tail. Hanuman flew high above the city, igniting many parts of it.

Rama, Lakshmana, and Sugriva then gathered a massive army. The army marched across a bridge built to Lanka. A fierce battle erupted. Hundreds of thousands of great warriors from both armies were killed. Ravana's army was losing ground. He sought assistance from his brother Kumbhakarna, who had a habit of sleeping for six months at a time. He appeared on the battlefield after eating a mountain of food, striking terror. Rama assassinated Kumbhakarna.



Ravana's son, Indrajith, who was a great warrior with the ability to become invisible, took command. With a magical arrow, he injured Lakshmana. Lakshmana lay unconscious until Hanuman flew to the Himalayas and brought him a herb that helped him regain consciousness. Lakshmana killed Indrajith, and Ravana and Rama finally met. It took several days for Rama to finally kill Ravana with a weapon provided by the Gods.

Rama and Sita were finally reunited. They returned to Ayodhya after fourteen years in exile. People rejoiced and flocked to greet him. The festivities lasted several days. The Gods praised the new King for bringing prosperity and happiness.
