Ramayan

The entire Kingdom celebrates the wedding of Ram and Sita

King Dasharat decides to roam in his kingdom like a civilian to find out what the villagers thought of them. While doing this, he overhears a group of people saying King Dasharat should handover his kingdom to his sons. Meanwhile, Sita and her sisters are writing a letter to their parents.

Manthara the maid from Ayodhya tries to manipulate Prince Bharat to become the king instead of Prince Ram. King Janak sends a messenger to Ayodhya inviting King Dashrat and his family to join them in Mithila for agricultural festival. Ram with his brothers and their respective wives start their journey to Mithila.

While Ram, his brothers and their troop were headed to Mithila, the candidates from Sita's Swayamvar decide to attack Ram to seek revenge from him for insulting them. During the attack, Prince Bharat was majorly injured as he was hit by an arrow. Ram convinces sage Mugdhal to save his brother's life.

Ram and his brothers return to Ayodhya and informed their family about the unexpected attack that took place and how Prince Bharat was majorly injured. Manthara again tries to manipulate Bharat and Ram. Bharat's uncle suggests to take Bharat with him for few days for his good health.

King Dasharath arranged a meeting between members of his kingdom and consults on giving up his throne and handing it to his elder son Ram to continue the legacy. The members agree to him and also give their valuable feedback.

The announcement of Ram's coronation was done. All of Ayodhya is celebrating and preparing for the ceremony. Manthara this time manipulates queen Kaikeyi.

Queen Kaikeyi has convinced Manthara and is now conspiring to keep Ram from being the king. Ram is very nervous to accept such big responsibility. Meanwhile, Queen Kaikeyi promises Manthara to follow everything she instructs her to do.

Manthara suggests queen kaikeyi to use the 2 boons that she had earned during one of King Dasharath's battle for saving his life. King Dasharath explains to Ram the important rules of being a king.

King Dasharath convinces Queen Kaikeyi that he would do anything for her and would accept all her commands. She tells the king about her wishes and King Dasharath faints.

When King Dasharat gains his conscious, he decides to accept and fulfill Queen Kaikeyi's first wish which is to consider Bharat as the king but he requests her to withdraw her second wish of sending Ram to exile for 14 years. Kaikeyi is adamant and threatens him to give up her life he doesn't fulfill both her wishes.

The endless night is finally over and it was Ram's coronation day. King Dasharath called for Ram to tell him the harsh truth and how he has to stay true to his commitments. Ram being a very supportive and sincere son took an oath of fulfilling all the promises and commitments made by his father.

Queen Kaikeyi explained King Dasharath's dilemma to Ram, she even told him about the boons she earned and her wishes that she had asked from him. Ram happily accepted to fulfill both her wishes and he also confirmed that he would leave for exile immediately. Sage Vashishta visits King Dasharath to know what must have happened for not being able to join the ceremony.

Everyone in Ayodhya are disappointed with this decision of Ram going to exile. Sage Vashishta and Arya Sumant tried to convince Kaikeyi to withdraw her wishes but she was adamant. Kaushalya was very happy to meet Ram and very excited for the ceremony but her happiness was momentary as Ram informs her about the new decisions made by King Dasharath.

Sita insists on going to the forest with Ram as it is her duty to be with her husband where ever he goes. On the other hand, Lakshman cannot hold his temperament and thinks it was a planned political move arranged by his brother Bharat and Queen Kaikeyi.

Laxman is angry and is not thinking correctly. Ram stops him from taking the wrong step and explained why he agreed to accept the decision. Later Laxman also insisted on going to exile with his brother. The trio of Ram, Laxman and Sita are then headed to meet King Dasharath before they start their journey to exile.

Ram, Laxman and Sita were soon going to leave their luxurious life of being in the royal family behind and would start a new journey to the exile where they would have to stay in the forest in ordinary clothes like ordinary people.

The trio, Ram, Laxman and Sita were headed to the woods along with Arya Sumant on his chariot but people of Ayodhya also wanted to join them because they didn't want to leave their favourite prince Ram.

Ram, Laxman and Sita had reached the banks of river Ganga which they would have to cross by a boat and the chariot would not be useful any further. Ram asked Arya Sumant to return to Ayodhya and they would continue their journey ahead on their own. Nishant, the king of forest helps them to sail through river Ganga by calling a sailor.

The trio seeks blessings from Goddess Ganga before proceeding. They then reach Sage Bhardwaj's Hermitage to seek the sage's blessings and also to ask for directions. Sage Bhardwaj advises them to spent their entire exile period on the Chitrakoot mountain but to reach there they would have to cross the river Yamuna.
