015: Ravana abducts Sita

Shoorpanakka runs to her brothers with her deformed and bleeding face. Her brothers are baffled someone could actually do this to her. They send the best 14 Demons to kill Rama and Lakshmana. In just about 15 mins, they realize Rama and Lakshmana are way to strong for a small army. Shoorpanakka advices they take the entire army of 14000 soldiers. Rama takes up the challenge of going on war against all the 14000 soldiers alone. He takes 45 minutes to fight off the entire army of Rakshasas. Right after, Sita realizes how valorous and tactful her Husband Rama is… She regrets the statement she’d made just before they left Ayodhya. Shoorpanakka reports this straight to her brother Ravana… She changes the narrative and tells Ravana that she was there to bring the most beautiful woman Sita to him and so she got her nose and ears cut for his sake. Ravana is now curious to see Sita. He visits their kuteera or hut even before approaching Mareecha. He was filled with Awe for Sita… he then approaches Marichi to help him abduct Sita. Marichi tries his best to explain that Ravana should never think of doing something that dangerous. Ravana threatens to kill Mareechi if he doesn’t help. Mareechi prefers to die at the hands of Rama rather than Ravana. He disguises himself as a beautiful deer and runs around Sita’s hut to get noticed. Nonetheless, Sita does get attracted to the deer. She requests Rama to get it for her. Rama and Lakshmana were very sure it was a trick being played by the daemons. But Rama decided to hunt it down for Sita. The deer, runs deep into the forest to take Rama far enough from the hut. While Lakshmana was protecting Sita, they hear the voice of Rama calling out to Rama and Sita. Sita is obviously disturbed and requests Lakshmana to go and see what’s happening…. Lakshmana refuses to leave her alone. But Sita speaks some hurtful things to make him go in search of Rama. Ravana takes this as an opportunity and disguises himself as a Sanyasi. The Sanyasi approaches Sita asking or alms. Sita requests or return of Rama and Lakshmana before she could give him something to eat. But the Sanyasi gets angry and threatens to curse her. Sita decides to step out and give him some fruits… Ravana immediately changes his form and abducts Sita by holding shadow of her long hair and the earth under her feet. He hurls her into the pushpaka vimana, a flying plane and sets off Sita is crying out for Rama and Lakshmana. Jatayu hears this and tries to rescue her. He fights with Ravana but with no luck…. Ravana chops off the wings of Jatayu.
