Description
Decided to take a break from Parvati/Kali's avatars and pay attention to Lakshmi and Saraswati's, too, since they're also important goddesses.

The Ramayana is mostly focused on the heroic and righteous deeds of Ramadev, avatar of Vishnu. However, his wife, Goddess Sita, daughter of Bhumi Devi (also an avatar of Goddess Lakshmi) and incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi, was also one of the central characters as a symbol of the ideal and perfect Hindu wife and woman. She symbolized motherhood, self-sacrifice, courage and most importantly purity and chastity.

Like Goddess Parvati, Goddess Sita is hardly depicted or portrayed alone. She is mostly depicted with her husband, Ramadev and his brother, Lakshmana. When she is not with her husband or brother-in-law, she is with her children, Kush and Lav. These of course are her children with Rama, whom she gave birth to after she'd been exiled.

Goddess Sita may have been a Vedic fertility and earth goddess mentioned in the Rig-Veda. But like most deities such as Chandi, Saraswati and Rudra (Shiva), they rose into more prominent titles as time passed.

Her story is long, starting from her birth through the earth (Bhumi Devi) and being adopted by King Janaka. Rama won her hand in marriage through the swayamwara. Goddess Sita followed Rama into exile for fourteen years after he was tricked by his stepmother into stepping down for his half-brother, Yuvaraja. She was then kidnapped by Ravana, king of Demons and taken into his abode in Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka). She waited for Rama to save her, never once giving into Ravana's charms and advances, his offers of power and glory if Sita agreed to be his Queen. When she was rescued by her husband, the people of Ayodha doubted her chastity and Rama, listening to his people, forced his queen into exile.

Goddess Sita retreated into the forest and was adopted by a sage, Valmiki. Valmiki cared for Sita and assisted in the birth of her twin sons with Rama (Sita had conceived during her brief reunion with her husband and was pregnant at the time she was exiled). One day, Rama encountered one of his children. Sita was then subjected to a test of purity, where she would step into a burning flame. If she were to get hurt, she was deemed impure and touched by Ravana. However, the Goddess had passed the test. Rama tried to welcome her back to become his Queen, but Sita's heart could bear no more pain. She cried and prayed to her mother, The Goddess Bhumi, to take her back and away from the world of suffering. It was then that the ground opened and the Goddess emerged, taking her daughter into her comforting arms and retreating back into the earth with her.
