Description

After Rāvana's defeat by Rāma, he resolved to seek revenge by abducting Rāma's wife, Sītā, who he had fallen in love with. Rāvana deceived Sītā by disguising himself as a religous mendicant and carried her off to Lanka, whereupon he urged her to become his wife. Sītā remained pure to Rāma and was eventually rescued by him
