Sita Devi

Consort of Lord Rama; epitome of purity, courage, dedication, and sacrifice; an avatar of Lakshmi.

Sita Devi is one of the central figures in the Hindu epic Ramayana and is revered as the consort of Lord Rama, the seventh avatar of Vishnu. She is considered an incarnation of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. Sita is renowned for her unwavering devotion, purity, courage, resilience, and unwavering commitment to dharma (righteousness) even in the face of immense adversity. She was miraculously found by King Janaka in a furrow while plowing a field, hence her name 'Sita' (meaning 'furrow'). Her abduction by the demon king Ravana and her subsequent ordeal in Lanka, followed by her eventual reunion with Rama and the test of her purity, form the core narrative of the Ramayana. Sita exemplifies ideal womanhood, embodying strength, dignity, and profound spiritual dedication, serving as a powerful role model in Hindu tradition.
