There was a king named "Dasrath" who was very powerful,He had three wives named "Koshalya", "Sumitra" & "Kekai" and four Sons named "Rama", "Lakshmana", "Satrudhana" and "Bharat".
Once King Dasrath went to jungle with his army for hunting, while searching for deer he found some movement in bushes near the banks of the river. He thought it must be a deer who is drinking water so he took his bow and shoot an arrow in that direction.
When he reaches there to check, he found a boy named "Sravan" who was dying because of his arrow.
Sravan was on a mission to take his blind parents to all pilgrims as their last wish.
When their parents knew about their dead son, they cursed King Dasrath that as "he took their son away from them, one day he would also have to live without his favourite son".
Time passes by and Now it was time to choose a new King and King Dasrath was about to choose his favourite son Rama as a king who was the son of Koshalya.
But Kekai wanted to make her Son Bharata to be the King so she plotted a whole new plan where she made King Dashrath send Rama into exile for 14 years in a Jungle.
As Sita was the wife of Rama she chooses to be with him and as Lakshmana was very close to Rama he also chooses to be with him. Now Bharata also wanted to go with them but Rama refused it because in this case the kingdom would be left without any King. So Rama Sita and Lakshmana went to Jungle.
They constructed a hut made up of bushes in Jungle, Days were passing and one day a girl named Surpnakha(Sister of King Ravana) saw Lakshman and fell in love with him, she visited him and show her feeling but Lakshmana didn't like her. She tried everything to impress him but it makes Lakshmana more angry and He cut her Nose in that anger.
She ran away crying from there to his brother "Ravana" and explained him everything. Ravana became very angry because he loved her sister very much so he made a plan to take revenge.
One day Rama and Lakshamn had to go for hunting to gather some food, so Lakshman draws a circle around the Hut and told Sita not to move outside from this circle as this circle would protect her from any evil forces.
After they went for hunting, Ravan visited there as a hermit to ask for food. Ravan ask sita to come outside and give some food but Sita was bounded because she was told not to cross the line, But Sita can't let that hermit go away without food because it would be against there dharma but Sita was not aware that he was Ravan, not a hermit so she crossed the line to give food.
And that was the time when Ravan abducted her and took her to his kingdom.
When both of them returned and found missing Sita they went on a search for her, they meet monkey king who helped them and told them about Ravana. They helped Rama with their monkey army for battle.
Sita was kept in the kingdom of Ravana and was waiting for Rama.
Now Rama entered to Ravana kingdom with his monkey army and killed Ravana and took her wife Sita with him and in all these incidences 14 years passed.
Now they were returning to their kingdom, when they reached there Bharata left his throne of King and asked Rama to become the King as he was elder brother and popular among the people of the kingdom.
But this was not an end of this story, people were started talking about Sita's abduction and her purity.
They wanted "Agni Pariksha"(Fire Exam) to test her purity because they felt Ravana might have done something wrong with her.
Sita explained her purity to Rama to believe but Rama was more conscious about the concern of their people query over Sita, so he asked Sita for "Agni Pariksha".
Sita went for agni pariksha because she knew about her purity, and she passes the agni pariksha which shut everyone's question.
Now as you read the whole story, I would like to ask few questions
1. Who was the main villain of this story?
a. Dasratha (for killing Sravan mistakenly)
b. Surpnakha (for provoking Lakshman)
c. Lakshmana (for cutting Surpnakha Nose)
d. Ravana (for abducting Sita)
e. People of Rama Kingdom (for asking Sita's purity)
f. If you feel any other character from this story then name it
Please provide a reason for your answer
