"Let us pray to the gods," said Dasharatha to his wives. "Yes," said queen Kaushalya, "perhaps they will be kind to us and give us children."
So Dasharatha and his queens prayed fervently to the gods in heaven. Finally there prayers were answered when a divine being arose from the sacrificial flames holding a bowl of payasam, rice pudding.
"O king," said this divine spirit,"The gods are pleased with your sacrifice. Vishnu himself has decided to be born on earth as your son. Divide this payasam between these three saintly queens, and in time divine children will be born to you." King Dasharatha shared the payasam equally between his three wives, but a crow swooped down and took Sumitra's portion before she could eat. Queen Kaushalya and Queen Kaikeyi immediately shared part of there portions with Queen Sumitra. When the proper time had passed each of the Queens gave birth to a son, Kaushalya gave birth to Rama, Kaikeyi to Bharata, and Sumitra, because she has eaten two portions, gave birth to the twins Lakshmana and Shatrughna.

These four sons of king Dasharatha were god given and were all embodiments of the great lord Vishnu, hence there beauty, power, skill and strength. But prince Rama was the bravest and wisest and most handsome of them all. On the day that the four princes reached the age of manhood, king Dasharatha made an announcement: "I decree that my son, prince Rama will succeed to the throne of Ayodhya."
On hearing this, the entire kingdom erupted in an outpouring of joy. But there was one person who was not please at all. This was old Manthara. A hunchback ed servant of Queen Kaikeyi, mother of prince Bharata. Manthara craftily poised kaikeyi's mind against Rama with lies.
"When he becomes king, Rama will turn on your son Bharata and exile him. Or worse!" She condensed kaikeyi to go to the king and demand that her son Bharata be named successor, and that Rama be banished. King Dasharatha was heart-broken but many years before, he had made a vow to grant Kaikeyi anything she wished, so he had to agree. Rama calmly obeyed his father's instruction to stand aside for his brother Bharata without a singke word of complaint, he prepared to leave Ayodhya for life in the jungle. "I will accompany you," said his wife Sita. Rama tried to persuade her to stay in Ayodhya, but she would not hear of it. She exchanged her beautiful clothing, fit for a princess, for rough clothes suitable for a jungle dweller. Rama's loyal brother Lakshmana also vowed to join them in their humble life far from the comfort and luxuries of the royal palace. Bharata, the devoted to his bother Rama, shocked at his mother's actions. "I will rule in your name while you are gone," he said, "and when you return the kingdom shell be your's again. Please, I bag you, give me a pare of your sandals." Rama gave Bharata a pare of his sandals and Bharata immediately placed them on the throne as the symbol of Rama's rule.
Finally  Rama, Sita and Lakshmana left the palace. They said farewell to the grieving citizens of Ayodhya, and began there journey to the jungle for there years of exile. While all this was taking place, there lived in the far of Iceland of Lanka, a cruel and powerful demon king called Ravana. He was fearsome to behold, with ten heads and twenty arms. He road in a chariot pulled throught the air by man-eating mules with sharp teeth ! Evil Ravana sent his demons out from the Lanka to oppress the wise men and women of the world, to disrupt their sacrifices to the Gods and Goddess, and to make the lives ordinary folk miserable. When Rama, Sita and Lakshamana arrived in the jungle, the wise men and women greeted them joyfully. "O great princes, o wise princess," they said, "please we bag you to protect us from Ravana's fearsome demons." So Rama and Lakshmana took up there weapons and fought Ravana's demon hordes. They protect the wise men and women from the vicious attacks by the demons that owed allegiance to Ravana. After sometime Ravana's angry demons, brought word to him that two mighty heroes were driving them away from there victims, and were continually defeating them in battle. Ravana was outrage and decided to take revenge on Rama. He flew in his chariot pulled by flying mules to Rama's jungle home. Seeing Rama and Lakshamana living a simple life with the beautiful Sita, Ravana devised an evil plan. He decided to kidnap sita and make her one of his wives in Lanka. By trick he lured both Rama and Lakshmana away from the jungle hut where they lived. Then he disguised himself as a harmless old man. "Please give me somthing to drink," he said to Sita. "Certainly, old father," said the tinder-hearted Sita, inviting him in. In the blink of an eye he scooped her up in his arms and, despite her angry cries for help he flew off with her to Lanka. When Rama and Lakshamana returned to there dwelling place they were dismayed to find that Sita had vanished. Rama was destroyed and he and Lakshmana searched everywhere for her. They finally  encountered Jatayu the vulture king lying wounded on the ground. He told them a strange tale. "O prince," gasped Jatayu, with his dying breath. " I saw Ravana, the demon king, fleeing in the chariot through the air. In the chariot was a beautiful women crying out for help. I tried to stoped him, but Ravana wounded me grievously." Rama and Lakshmana immediate began to seek for word of Ravana's whereabouts. In their search they come across Sugriva. The king of the Monkie's. One of Sugriva's followers was the powerful monkey Hanuman, who became Rama's most faithful devotees. "O great king," said Rama respectfully, "My brother and I are searching for my wife Sita, who has been taken by Ravana the demon king. Help us I beg you to find her." Sugriva, Hanuman and all the monkeys eagerly agreed to help Rama in hus search. They findout in all directions looking for Sita. It was Hanuman who flew over the sea to far of Iceland of Lanka. Where he finely located the weeping Sita. "O beautiful lady," said Hanuman, "Dry your tears your brave husband Rama is coming to rescue you." then Hanumana played a trick on Ravana and the demons. He allowed himself to captured and bound with ropes. The cruel demons set fire to his tell. Whereupon he broke his bonds and leapt from roof to roof, setting fire to all of Lanka. Hanuman then return to Rama and told him of his discovery. Rama, Lakshmana, Hanuman and an uncountable multitude of fierce monkeys marched towards the sea. With tremendous energy the monkey army built a bridge of rocks which they crossed. They marched right up to the very gates of Ravanas palaces. "Who dares invade my kingdom," shouted the enraged Ravana. He sent out his demon army to attack monkeys. For many days Rama, Lakshmana and the courageous monkey army fought off the ferocious attacks of the demons. Ravana used all the deceitful and cunning tricks he could think of, but Rama and his allies were able to defeat each one and drive the demons back. Finally Rama and Ravana encountered each other on the battlefield. They fought ferociously but Ravana was finally defeated and killed  by Rama. imagine the joyful reunion husband and wife ! Rama and Sita were reunited to the loud cheers of Lakshmana, Hanuman, Sugriva and all the monkey army. Rama, Sita and Lakshmana bade a fond farewell to there monkey friends, and then made their way back to the royal palace of Ayodhya. All along the way the joyful people lit lamps to celebrate their triumphant progress. The magnificent city of Ayodhya wsa ablaze with lights, as the four royal princes were reunited. Rama and Sita ascended the throne to rule wisely for many a long year. And to this day the festival of Diwali reenacts this triumphant return of Rama and Sita, and the final victory of goodness over evil; truth over ignorance; and light over darkness.
