Abduction from "summary" of Ramayan by P. R. Mitchell
One of the key events in the epic Ramayan is the abduction of Sita by the demon king Ravan. This abduction sets in motion a series of events that ultimately lead to a great war between Rama and Ravan. Sita, the beloved wife of Rama, is taken against her will by Ravan and is transported to his kingdom of Lanka. The abduction of Sita is a pivotal moment in the story as it highlights the power struggle between good and evil. Ravan, driven by his desire for Sita, goes to great lengths to capture her and bring her to his kingdom. Sita, on the other hand, is portrayed as a virtuous and pure woman who remains faithful to Rama even in the face of great adversity. The abduction of Sita also serves to showcase the bravery and determination of Rama, who embarks on a perilous journey to rescue his wife. Rama, accompanied by his loyal brother Lakshman and an army of monkeys led by the monkey king Hanuman, travels to Lanka to confront Ravan and bring Sita back to Ayodhya. The abduction of Sita is not just a physical event in the story, but also a symbolic one. It represents the struggle between good and evil, righteousness and wickedness. Ravan's actions are driven by his greed and lust, while Rama's actions are guided by his love for Sita and his sense of duty.- The abduction of Sita leads to a great war between Rama and Ravan, a war that culminates in the defeat of the demon king and the restoration of Sita to her rightful place by Rama's side. Through this epic tale of abduction and rescue, the Ramayan explores themes of love, loyalty, courage, and the triumph of good over evil.
