Jai Shri Ram
Rama Of the 10 incarnations of Vishnu, two have been immortalised in the greatest epic tales of India, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The seventh incarnation of Vishnu, who is the hero of the Ramayana, is called Ramachandra. He was born into the royal family of Ayodhya, a kingdom situated on the banks of the river Sharayu in Uttar Pradesh. Rama is considered to be the Maryada Purushottama an epithet meaning 'the ideal among men' and the embodiment of moral righteousness. Rama is known for his great bow and quiver of arrows and was a warrior of extraordinary merit. Eldest of the four sons of King Dasharatha, he was revered by both his family and his subjects. The Ramayana was written long before the Christian era, by the great sage Valmiki.
