Rama
राम
The ideal king who upholds dharma above all else, even personal happiness
Rama is the seventh avatar of Vishnu and the hero of the Ramayana. Born to King Dasharatha of Ayodhya, he is the embodiment of righteousness — Maryada Purushottam, the ideal person who upholds dharma perfectly. When his stepmother exiled him, he accepted 14 years in the forest without complaint. He rescued his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana with the help of Hanuman and an army of vanaras. His return to Ayodhya is celebrated as Diwali. Ram Navami marks his birth.
