The consort of Lord Ram, Sita is one of the pivotal characters in the epic ‘Ramayana’. Even though she was the daughter of a King, she left behind all worldly pleasures to accompany Shri Ram for 14 long years of banishment, thereby proving her tolerance to face the harshest of situations. Sita also managed to keep her honour intact during her yearlong imprisonment in Lanka - Ravana’s palace. In the end, when she was humiliated and her chastity questioned, she went through the fire test to prove her innocence.
