Shri Ram, also known as Lord Rama, is a revered figure in Hindu mythology and is believed to be the seventh avatar (incarnation) of Lord Vishnu. He is considered to be a symbol of truth, righteousness, and compassion.
According to the epic Ramayana, Shri Ram was born in Ayodhya to King Dasharatha and Queen Kaushalya. He was the eldest of the four brothers, with Bharata, Lakshmana, and Shatrughna being his younger siblings. Shri Ram's birth is celebrated as the festival of Ram Navami.
As a young prince, Shri Ram was known for his noble character and bravery. He was married to Sita, who was the daughter of King Janaka. In the Ramayana, it is said that Shri Ram went on a 14-year-long exile with Sita and Lakshmana after he was asked to leave Ayodhya due to a conspiracy by his stepmother. During this exile, Sita was kidnapped by the demon king Ravana, who took her to his kingdom in Lanka. Shri Ram, with the help of Hanuman and his army of monkeys, fought against Ravana and finally defeated him, rescuing Sita and bringing her back to Ayodhya.
Shri Ram is also known for his strict adherence to dharma (righteousness) and his high moral values. His teachings and actions are still revered by millions of Hindus across the world. The story of Shri Ram and his victory over evil is celebrated during the festival of Diwali, which marks the return of Shri Ram to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana.
In Hinduism, Shri Ram is considered to be a divine figure and his life story serves as an inspiration for people to follow the path of righteousness and lead a virtuous life.
