<p>Viswamitra brought <strong>Ram</strong> and <strong>Lakshman</strong> to <strong>King Janak's</strong> palace to see the <strong>divine bow of Shiva</strong>. Janak declared that only the man who could string the bow would marry his daughter, <strong>Sita</strong>. Ram effortlessly lifted and then <strong>shattered the mighty bow</strong> while trying to string it. Ram married Sita, and his brothers <strong>Lakshman, Bharat, and Shatrughna</strong> married <strong>Urmila, Mandavi, and Shrutakirti</strong>, respectively. On their return to Ayodhya, they encountered the fearsome sage <strong>Parashuram</strong>, whose bow Ram also strung and released an arrow from, humbling the sage. </p><br><p>Written, narrated, and directed by Sudipta Bhawmik</p><p>SFX and audio design by Anirban Chakrabarty</p><p>Audio engineering by Souman Paul</p><p>Cover art by Google Gemini</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
