Valmiki witnessed the grief of a female heron whose mate was killed by a hunter, which inspired him to create the poetic form of sloka to tell the story of Rama. The story follows Prince Rama who is exiled to the forest for 14 years by his stepmother, taking his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana. In the forest they encounter demons, including Ravana who kidnaps Sita. Rama allies with the monkey king Sugreeva and the monkey general Hanuman to find Sita and ultimately wage war against Ravana. After defeating Ravana, rumors spread about Sita's faithfulness so she performs a ritual to prove her loyalty but is taken away by the earth mother instead.
