The story of Ramayana is very long epic, but today we are going to present a small form of it in

front of you, hope you all enjoy it.

It is a matter of ancient times of the Treta Yuga. Ayodhya, the capital of Kaushala, is situated on
the banks of river Saryu. King Dasharatha of Ayodhya had three wives Kaushalya, Sumitra and
Kaikeyi. He had four sons Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata and Shatrughna.

Scene-1
The king's elder son Rama and his younger brother Lakshman Rishi along with Vishwamitra went to
kill the demons in the van where they fought a terrible demon like Tadka and finally reached the
city of Mithila where King Janak is organizing the swayamvar of his daughter Sita. It is the condition
of King Janak that Sita will be married to whoever lifts the holy bow of Shiva.
Scene-2
renowned kings and Maharajas who came to participate in Sita's Swayamvar, all tried very hard to
lift the bow but no one could lift the bow.

Janak:- Is there no one here who can lift this bow. Will my daughter remain unmarried for life?
Scene-3
Laxman:- Wait Maharaj, my brother Ram will pick up this bow, come Bhaiya.
After getting the orders of Guru Vishwamitra Rama came forward , he lifted the bow with one
hand and as soon as he started licking its string, the bow broke into two pieces.
Scene-4
Thus Rama was married to Sita and also Rama's younger brothers Lakshmana Bharat and
Shatrughan were married to Sita's younger sisters Urmila Mandvi and Shrutikirti.
Scene-5
After the marriage, everyone reached Ayodhya to seek the blessings of King Dasharatha and their
mothers.
With the marriage of Rama, King Dasharatha announced that soon Rama would be made the new
king of Ayodhya. Hearing this, Dasaratha's younger queen Kaikeyi's maid Manthara goes to the
queen.
Scene-6
Manthra:- Kaikeyi, I have heard that Ram is being made the king of Ayodhya.
Kaikeyi:- Yes Manthara you heard it right.
Manthra:- So what will your son Bharat get?
Kaikeyi:- What difference does it make if the king becomes Rama or Bharat?
Manthra:- Hey foolish woman, if Rama becomes king, then what will your son become “a slave”
and you maidservant, have you forgotten that Dasharatha promised you that the kingdom will
be given to your son.
Kaikeyi:- So tell me Manthara what should I do now?
Manthra:- Go Kaikeyi. Ask King Dasharatha for your two boons. (Whispering in the ear )
Caught in the trap of Manthara, Kaikeyi reached Kopa Bhavan. King Dasharatha came and asked
Kaikeyi the reason for his sadness.
Scene-7
Dashrath:- What happened Kaikeyi? Why are you sad?
Kaikeyi:- Rajan, do you remember you gave me two boons, today I want to ask you for those ?
Dashrath:- Yes Kaikeyi, ask for whatever you want.
Kaikeyi:- Think about it, Rajan, will you not back down?
Dashrath:- no Kaikeyi . don’t you know.
Raghukul reet sada chali aayi, pran jayi par vachan na jayi.
Kaikeyi:- So give my Bharat the throne and Ram 14 years of exile.
Dashrath:- No!! Aah, Kaikeyi, what did you ask for?

echoed all around.

Today's auspicious day Deshhara is celebrated for this reason. Today, Ravana, that is, evil has come
to an end at the hands of Shri Rama. We celebrate this festival to commemorate the victory of evil
over good. And we vow that along with Ravan, the evil within us is also destroyed.
With this, we end today's program, thank you.
Jai Shri Ram!
