\n Srimati Sita Devi is the daughter of the Earth goddess, Bhumi Devi, and
\n central figure of the Ramayana. In Maharishi Valmiki\u2019s own words, Ramayana is
\n known as the noble story of Sita \u201cSita-ayah  Charitam Mahat\u201d. \n<\/p>\n

\n King Janaka was the wise and benevolent King of Janakpuri and although a great
\n saintly king he was childless. \u2018Rajarshi \u2013 a king who lives like a sage: that
\n was how king Janaka of Videha dynasty was renowned. He ruled over the kingdom
\n of Mithila. He looked upon his people with love and affection.<\/p>\n

Janaka Maharaj was ploughing a piece of land and then to prepare it for
\n conducting a Yajna (spiritual sacrifice). He unearthed a golden casket in
\n which he found a beautiful girl and was overjoyed. A land ploughed by the yoke
\n is called \u2018Sita\u2019, and so he named the baby as Sita. With the arrival of the
\n baby, the king\u2019s good luck appeared to soar up.\n<\/p>\n

\n Sita grew up and played in the palace of Janakaraj. She became well known for
\n her beauty as well as her devotion. She could often be seen absorbed in the
\n Deity of the Lord of the Surya-vamsa. She would when on her own, sometimes
\n lovingly enact the pastimes of the various forms of the Lord and relish His
\n pastimes. In this way she revealed to those close to her that she was no
\n ordinary young girl.\n<\/p>\n

\n King Janaka possessed a bow said to have been blessed by Lord Shiva. It was a
\n great bow and the king decided to marry off his daughter to one who could lift
\n it and charge its arrow. He prepared for a Swayamvara. \n<\/p>\n

\n Vishwamitra told Rama:\u201dDear Ramachandra, pray to Lord Shiva and take to the
\n bow.\u201d Sri Rama bowed to Vishwamitra and offered his respects. He then prayed
\n for the grace of Lord Shiva, went and raised the bow with ease and thrust an
\n arrow. As he bent the bow, it broke. Sitadevi came and garlanded him and
\n accepted him as her husband.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
