Rama Lakshman Janaki in Exile no-watermark

Sita jumped into the pyre and prayed to Agni, the god of fire to rescue her only if she had remained pure. Kubera, Yama, Varuna, Indra Shiva, Brahma and other gods and goddesses who witnessed this scene from the sky, came down to earth and conveyed their displeasure to Rama. “Ramachandra! You are the lord of universe. How could you behave like a mere human being? How could you watch Sita jump into the fire?” they asked him. Brahma placed his hand on Rama’s shoulder and told him “You are Narayana. Sita is Lakshmi. As a divine couple, you are far above suspicious and distrust.” By then, Agni gently carried Sita out of the pyre and told Rama “Ramachandra, Sita is chaste. Please accept her”.

Rama’s doubts were cleared and joyfully he accepted Sita. Rama, Sita and Lakshmana were blessed by all the Gods. Rama’s exile had come to an end. So, he bade good bye to all his Vanara friends, he thanked Vibhishana for his help. Rama, Sita and Lakshmana accompanied by Sugriva and Hanuman left for Ayodhya in Pushpak Viman arranged by Vibhishana. On their flight, Sita and Rama identified the places they had stayed during the exile. Rama also showed her the Rishyamukha, Pampa lake, Sabari’s ashram and Kishkinda and the forests where he had roamed pining for Sita. The Pushpak Viman reached Ayodhya. Bharatha was waiting for Rama’s return. He prostrated before his brother and begged him to take charge of the kingdom. Kaushalya, Kaikeyi, Sumitra and Vashishta blessed Rama and with their consent, Rama agreed to become the king. Soon Rama was crowned the king of Ayodhya. The coronation was conducted on a grand scale, Rama and Sita were seated on the throne, Lakshmana, Bharatha and Shatrugna stood behind them Hanuman sat at Rama’s feet. People rejoiced about this happy event.
