Using an arrow given to him by the gods, Ram shot Ravan in the navel and killed him instantly.Īnd so, Ram and his love,Sita, were finally reunited. Finally, Ravan’s brother Vibheeshan told Ram that Ravan’s weakest point was in his navel. Ram too fought back relentlessly but despite all his efforts, nothing seemed to kill Ravan. Ravan instead rained down weapons on him. He gave Ravan one last chance to apologise and return Sita.
The battle was now between Ram and Ravan. Soon, a great battle started between to two mighty armies and Ram’s soldiers managed to kill all the demons, except one – Ravan. He came back to Ram with Sita’s whereabouts and the army of monkeys, bears and men marched to Lanka. Hanuman reassured Sita that Ram would be here soon to rescue her. It was Hanuman who finally found Sita, imprisoned in one of Ravan’s beautiful gardens. So obviously, he ended up being Ram’s strongest ally. He had the power to leap across oceans in a single stride. He could fly over mountains, change size at will and had super-human strength. Among them was a monkey named Hanuman who had once vowed to be at Ram’s service. On their way, they came across an army of monkeys and bears that agreed to help them. When Ram and Lakshman returned, Sita was missing! They realised that something bad had happened while they were gone and immediately rushed to find her. With the help of another demon who took the form of a golden deer, he distracted Ram and Lakshman and kidnapped Sita from their hut. The demoness went wailing to her brother who was none other than Ravan, the demon King of Lanka. Enraged, Surpanakha showed her true form and Lakshman cut off her nose and ears. Ram refused and asked her to go to Lakshman instead.īut Lakshman also refused. And so, Ram set off on foot accompanied by his loving wife Sita, and loyal younger brother, Lakshman.Ī few years into their exile, a demoness named Surpanakha saw Ram and fell for his looks. Having once promised his wife to fulfil any wish of hers, the helpless king exiled Ram to the forest.
But one of King Dasaratha’s wives was jealous of Ram and demanded that he be exiled to the forest for 14 years so that her son, Bharat, be made king. The eldest, Ram and his beautiful wife, Sita, lived happily along with his other prince brothers and their wives. Thousands of years ago, in the city of Ayodhya, there was a wise and good king named Dasaratha who ruled along with his three queens and four princes. Diwali is a festival of joy and prosperity, and a celebration of the victory of good over evil.
