Rama (image source from Wikipedia)
Rama was up at Lanka to find his wife Sita that had been
kidnapped by Ravana. Lanka is a city built by Vishvakarman and he was king of
it.
Ravana had sent in spies around Lanka to find Rama and kill
him. His spies explain how powerful he was and that Ravana should just give up Sita
before it gets bad. Ravana was furious and kicked the spies out for telling him
to forfeit already. He constantly sent people to battle and kill Rama, but it
ended up with the same result.
Ravana tried to manipulate Sita to thinking Rama was dead
and there was no hope for him to come. He had a rakshasi come in and bring in
Rama’s head and bow, something that she would recognize. Once Sita saw it, she
broke into tears and praying that he would kill her too, so she would be by his
side. Then a messenger came in to alert Ravana that a battle was coming.
The moment that Ravana turned his head and left for the field
of war, Rama’s head and bow vanished. That was when she knew it was an
illusion. He used his powers of illusion to put her in complete despair.
In the end, Ravana got killed by Rama and saved Sita.
