Sita, sometimes referred to by the names Siya, Janaki, Maithili, Vaidehi, and Bhumija, is a Hindu deity and the main character of the Ramayana, a work of Hindu literature. She is seen as a variation of Vishnu’s consort, Lakshmi, and is the spouse of Rama, the god Vishnu’s incarnation. She is also the main deity in Hindu religions that emphasise Rama. Sita is renowned for her commitment, selflessness, bravery, and purity.
Sita is raised as King Janaka of Videha’s adoptive daughter while being referred to as the daughter of Bhumi (the earth). In her youth, Sita decides to wed Rama, the ruler of Ayodhya, in a swayamvara. She follows her husband to his kingdom after the swayamvara, but subsequently decides to go with him and her brother-in-law Lakshmana when he is exiled. The group settles in the Dandaka jungle while exiled, where Ravana, the Rakshasa ruler of Lanka, kidnaps her. She is held captive in Lanka’s Ashoka Vatika garden till Rama frees her and kills her kidnapper. Rama asks Sita to undergo Agni Pariksha by which she proves her purity, before she is accepted by Rama.
Sita is regarded as the deity in Hinduism. In several writings, novels, pictures, films, and contemporary media, she has been represented as a perfect mother, an ideal wife, and an ideal daughter. Rama is frequently honoured alongside Sita as his consort.
