Rama-centric traditions of Hinduism, he is considered the Supreme Being. Rama was born to Kaushalya and Dasharatha in Ayodhya, the ruler of the Kingdom of Kosala. ... He is the central figure of the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana, a text historically popular in the South Asian and Southeast Asian cultures.
Thousands of years ago, there lived a King named Dashrath of Ikshvaku dynasty ruling the kingdom in the beautiful city of Ayodhya, on the banks of river Sarayu. He was a generous and intelligent king loved by his people. He had three wives Kaushalya, Kaikeyi and Sumitra. But he had one sorrow; he had no children which made him always worried and sad.
Blessed with four sons:
After twelve months of Ashvamedha yagna, in the month of Chaitra, a day which was neither hot nor cool, winds blew softly and the forests were full of beautiful blossoms. The rivers flowed swiftly and sang with joy. The sun, moon and stars gracefully waited while Queen Kausalya gave birth to a son, later named as Rama, with all divine attributes. There were no words for her as she gazed his magnificent beauty. King Dashrath was very happy and overjoyed with the birth of his elder son.
