In the heart of the mystical forest, Raavan, the formidable demon king, nursed a grudge against Rama and Lakshmana for the insult meted out to his sister, Soorpanakha. Consumed by revenge, Raavan devised a sinister plan to bring the princes of Ayodhya to their knees.

Observing the trio from Ayodhya with a hawk's precision, Raavan and Soorpanakha discerned that Sita was vulnerable only when left alone in the confines of their woodland dwelling. Rama and Lakshmana, aware of the dangers lurking in the forest, ensured that one of them always stayed by Sita's side, safeguarding her from potential threats.

Frustrated by their vigilance, Raavan sought the aid of Mareech, a demon possessing magical abilities. The nefarious trio conceived a cunning scheme to exploit the vulnerability of the Ayodhyan royals. Mareech, with his shape-shifting prowess, transformed into a mesmerizing golden deer, a creature so enchanting that it captivated the attention of both Rama and Lakshmana.

As the bewitching deer pranced through the forest, Rama and Lakshmana couldn't resist its allure. The brothers, succumbing to curiosity, decided to chase the elusive creature. Sensing an opportunity, Mareech cleverly led them farther away from their hut, deep into the heart of the enchanted woods.

Meanwhile, back at the dwelling, Sita, unaware of the impending danger, found herself alone. Raavan seized this moment to execute the next phase of his plan. Disguised as a wandering sage, he approached Sita, feigning innocence and asking for alms. Sita, bound by her virtuous nature, offered him hospitality.

However, as the disguised Raavan engaged in conversation with Sita, his true identity remained veiled. Unbeknownst to Sita, the forest echoed with the sinister laughter of demons plotting against the virtuous trio.

To fortify their trap, Lakshmana, anticipating potential threats, drew a protective line, a Lakshman Rekha, around their hut. He instructed Sita not to cross this magical boundary under any circumstance, assuring her safety within its confines.

The stage was set for a perilous game of deception, with Raavan, Soorpanakha, and Mareech orchestrating a complex plan against the unsuspecting Rama, Lakshmana, and Sita. The enchanted deer had served its purpose, leading the brothers astray, while the true test of valor and virtue awaited the Ayodhyan princes in the depths of the enchanted forest.

Come back tomorrow to study how Sita was abducted by the demon king Raavan by deception and how courageous Jataayu sought to save her.
