Rama

Seventh avatar of Vishnu, King of Ayodhya, embodiment of righteousness (dharma) and ideal human conduct.

Lord Rama is the seventh and one of the most prominent avatars of Vishnu in Hinduism. He is the central figure of the ancient Hindu epic, the Ramayana, which narrates his life's journey, struggles, and triumph over evil. Rama is revered as 'Maryada Purushottam,' the ideal man who perfectly embodies virtues like righteousness, courage, compassion, selflessness, and adherence to dharma. Born as the eldest son of King Dasharatha of Ayodhya, he is known for his unwavering commitment to truth, his devotion to his wife Sita, and his strong bonds with his brothers. His life story serves as a moral guide, teaching about duty, sacrifice, and the ultimate victory of good over evil, exemplified by his defeat of the demon king Ravana.
