He was the only one who could lift and string a bow during the Swayamvar of Devi Sita. He won her hand in marriage and returned to Ayodhya. This young scion of the Ikshvaku dynasty was fate’s chosen child. Due to a promise given by his father he was exiled to into the forest for 14 years. He honoured this promise and lived in the forest with his brother Lakshman and wife Sita. When Sita was abducted by Ravana, Lord Rama was heartbroken. He received the aid of Lord Hanuman, an Anshavatar of Lord Shiva. The entire army of monkeys helped Lord Rama build a bridge across the ocean to reach Lanka where Sita was imprisoned.
