Rama was the eldest son of Dasharatha, king of Ayodhya. He was considered an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu. Rama was married to Sita and had three brothers. Though a virtuous king, he agreed to exile himself for 14 years after his father promised his stepmother Kaikeyi he would banish Rama. During his exile, Rama rescued Sita when she was kidnapped by Ravana. He later killed Ravana and returned to Ayodhya with Sita at the end of their exile.
