Rama, Sita, and the Hindu Ramayan Story

In Hinduism, Rama is the seventh incarnation (or avatar) of Vishnu, and he is one of the most loved deities in India. Hindu families tell their sons that they should grow up to be like Rama. Prince Rama is the hero of the Indian epic the Ramayan. In this story, he is the son of the King of Ayodhya, and heir to the throne. However, his stepmother wants him banished from the kingdom so that her natural son can become heir to the throne. Regretfully, the king asks that Rama leave the kingdom. Seeing his father's predicament, Rama gladly leaves the kingdom for the forest.

Rama goes to live in the forest with his brother and with his enchanting wife, Sita. While there, Rama drives off some Rakshas from the forest. Their demonic leader, Ravana, seeks revenge on Rama by abducting Sita.

Rama, his brother, and Hanuman, the Monkey King, set off to free Sita from the island of Lanka, where Ravana is holding her. Hanuman uses his powers to build a bridge using the bodies of his monkey army for Rama to cross, and flying in on Hanuman's shoulders, Rama shoots an arrow into Ravana. He has succeeded in killing the demon and liberating his wife.
