Ram Sita marriage story
Rama was born in the house of King Dasharatha and Sita was the daughter of King Janak. It is believed that Sita was born from the earth. At the time when Raja Janak was plowing, he had found a little girl whom he named Sita. Sita ji is also called by the name of “Janakandini”.
It is believed that once Sita lifted the bow of Shiva which no one but Parasurama could lift. King Janak decided that Sita would marry whoever could lift Shiva’s bow.
Announcements were made for Sita’s Swayamvara. Lord Rama and Lakshmana also participated in Swayamvara. Many other princes had also come there but no one could lift Shiva’s bow.
Raja Janak became desperate and said, “Is no one worthy of my daughter?” Then Maharshi Vashishta asked Lord Rama to offer the credentials of Shiva’s bow. Obeying the Guru’s command, Lord Rama started offering the credentials of Shiva’s bow and the bow broke.
Thus Sita got married to Ram. In Indian society, Rama and Sita are considered as an example of an ideal couple (husband and wife). Rama Sita’s life demonstrates love, ideals, dedication and values.
