The Ramayana Circuit in India<\/strong> is a spiritually curated journey that allows devotees and seekers to walk through the footsteps of Lord Rama<\/strong>, visiting the places where he was born, ruled, went into exile, fought evil, and ultimately returned victorious. Introduced by the Government of India<\/strong>, this circuit connects sacred destinations across multiple states, offering a profound pilgrimage experience.<\/p>\n During the Treta Yuga<\/strong>, the glorious Ikshvaku dynasty<\/strong> ruled Ayodhya. King Dasharatha<\/strong>, the emperor of Ayodhya, was blessed with four sons:<\/p>\n Rama<\/strong> (born to Kaushalya)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Lakshmana<\/strong> (born to Sumitra)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Bharata<\/strong> and Shatrughna<\/strong> (born to Kaikeyi)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Lord Rama, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu<\/strong>, was loved deeply by his parents, brothers, and the people of Ayodhya for his virtues, humility, and strength.<\/p>\n Sage Vishwamitra<\/strong> took Rama and Lakshmana to protect sacred yajnas from demons. On this journey, they reached Mithila<\/strong>, where Sita Devi\u2019s Swayamvar<\/strong> was being held. Rama broke the mighty Shiva Dhanush<\/strong>, winning Sita\u2019s hand in marriage. Subsequently, Lakshmana, Bharata, and Shatrughna married Sita\u2019s sisters.<\/p>\n Just before Rama\u2019s coronation, Queen Kaikeyi demanded two boons\u2014sending Rama into 14 years of exile<\/strong> and crowning Bharata as king. Rama accepted this willingly, leaving Ayodhya with Sita and Lakshmana<\/strong>.<\/p>\n During the final phase of exile, Ravana<\/strong>, king of Lanka, abducted Sita with the help of Maricha<\/strong>, disguising himself as a golden deer.<\/p>\n With the support of Sugriva<\/strong>, Hanuman<\/strong>, and the Vanara Sena<\/strong>, Rama built the Rama Setu (Setubandhan)<\/strong> to Lanka. After a fierce war, Rama defeated Ravana and rescued Sita.
