The story opens in the opulent kingdom of Ayodhya, which was once controlled by King Dasharath and Queen Kaushalya. Their persistent dedication to the divine and their wish for a child culminated in a heavenly blessing that would change the course of history.

Kimg Dashratha was worried by the fact that he had no successor, so in order to obtain the gods’ blessings, King Dasharatha decided to organize a large yagna (sacrificial rite). The gods were pleased with the yagna because it was presided over by the respected sage Rishyasringa. They appeared before Dasharatha and gave him a sacred serving of kheer, or delicious rice pudding, to give to each of his wives.

The other two queens, Kaikeyi and Sumitra, each received a quarter of the kheer, with Queen Kaushalya taking home the other half. They were given the chance to become parents while they ate the delectable dessert.

Lord Ram was eventually born from Queen Kaushalya, Bharata from Kaikeyi, and Lakshmana and Shatrughna from Sumitra. Lord Ram, the beloved son who was the eldest and most cherished, was born under the auspicious constellation Punarvasu, which denotes abundance and rebirth.

The city of Ayodhya was ecstatic as word of Bhagwan Shree Ram’s birth spread. He ushered in a period of enormous joy and hope for the kingdom. Even as a little child, the people adored Lord Ram for his exceptional attributes. He won the hearts of everyone with his humility, righteousness, and compassion.

Bhagwan Shree Ram had a dazzling beauty and aura which enhanced his holy essence. Both celestial beings and people were drawn to him because of the mesmerizing radiance emanating from his countenance. As he became older, the kingdom started to know him for his grace and charm.

Many amazing events and adventures, were experienced by the young lord Ram. His mentors and local citizens were impressed by his extraordinary archery and combat skills. All who came into contact with him respected and admired him because of his wisdom and intelligence, which were greater than his young age.

The scholarly and upright king of Mithila, Janaka, grew to admire Lord Ram as his fame spread. King Janaka organized a special swayamvara (marriage ritual) for his daughter Sita, inviting potential husbands to compete for her hand in battle. Lord Ram entered the competition with Lakshmana by his side and accomplished the impossible by skillfully stringing Lord Shiva’s heavenly bow. The crowd was amazed by his achievement, and he succeeded in winning Sita’s hand in marriage.
