… there lived a beautiful princess,
in a mystical land known as…
…lndia.
She was married to the
handsome Prince Rama…

to the enchanted forest…
…by his jealous stepmother,
Queen Kaikeyi.
One day…
…Princess Sita saw a wounded deer
in the woods…
…and she begged Rama
to go and help it.
Rama drew a circle in the ground
and said to her:
”This is a magic circle.
So long as you stay inside it…
…no harm can come to you. ”
That night,
the princess heard a horrible cry.

Thinking it was her beloved Rama
in danger…
… the princess ran from the circle
to answer the cry.
She soon came across

He grabs her and takes her
