The grand gates of Ayodhya stand open as Lord Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana leave the magnificent city behind, stepping onto the path of exile. Rama, dressed in a simple saffron dhoti, his chest bare except for the sacred thread, walks with unshakable resolve. His long, dark hair, no longer adorned with a crown, is now tied in a hermit’s jata (matted locks), signifying his transition from a prince to a forest-dweller. His Kodanda bow rests firmly in his hand, a quiver full of golden arrows slung across his back, ready to protect his beloved and uphold dharma. Beside him, Sita walks gracefully, draped in a plain yet elegant yellow saree, her delicate features reflecting quiet strength and devotion. Her long, dark hair is loosely braided, adorned with minimal jewelry, a stark contrast to the opulence she once knew. Though her eyes glisten with emotion, her determination to stand by Rama never wavers. Lakshmana follows closely, his expression fierce with loyalty. He, too, wears the attire of an ascetic, his bow gripped tightly in his hand. His sharp gaze scans their surroundings, ever watchful. As they move forward, Ayodhya weeps behind them. The streets are lined with sorrowful citizens, elders, and nobles, their eyes brimming with tears, hands folded in reverence. Some cry out, begging Rama to return, while others fall to the ground in despair. The golden domes and towering spires of Ayodhya glisten under the setting sun, their splendor contrasting the humble journey of the exiled trio. Leading them is Guha, the Nishada king, his humble yet strong presence offering guidance as they approach the banks of the Ganga. With each step, the weight of sacrifice grows heavier, yet Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana walk forward with unwavering faith, leaving behind the grandeur of the palace for the unknown depths of the forest.
