Ayodhya Kanda : Sinful exile of Srirama

Ayodhya Kanda is one of the important kandas in Ramayan and narrates the arrangements for Lord Rama's coronation and his exile into the wilderness for a period of fourteen years in order to fulfil his father's wish. The kanda portrays the obedience and determination of Rama who refused to return to Ayodhya without fulfilling his father'orders. It involves the exchange between King Dashratha and his queen Kaikeyi where the latter asks for her two boons. The kand throws light on the calm self-control character of Rama who with absolute submission accepted his father's decree for the sake of his honour. It also shows the sacrifice of Sita and Laxmana who decided to stay with Rama during the exile.
