The Homecoming of Ram

The Homecoming of Ram

Finally the fourteen long years of exile were up and Ram, Sita and Laxman were ready to return to Ayodhya. Vibhishan, who had been crowned king of Lanka after Ravan's death, offered the wonderful chariot Pushpak to Ram so that they could fly home to Ayodhya. Ram gladly accepted his offer and climbed aboard along with Sita, Laxman and their monkey friends. They soon reached the outskirts of Ayodhya.

As he had done so many times in the past, Hanuman was the messenger that bore the glad tidings of Ram's return to Bharat. Bharat was ecstatic when he heard the news. He decided that the people of Ayodhya would give Ram and his friends a reception the likes of which the kingdom had never seen before. Once again the people of Ayodhya prepared for the coronation of Ram. The streets were gaily festooned with flags and washed with scented water. Colourful garlands hung over every doorway. Musicians, dancers and acrobats performed in the streets. The people paraded the streets dressed in their best finery. Everywhere there was happiness and laughter as Ayodhya anticipated the homecoming of Ram. When the weary threesome entered the gates of Ayodhya, a resounding cheer went up from the gathered crowds. The three queens embraced Ram, Sita and Laxman with tears of joy pouring down their faces. The brothers were overjoyed to be reunited after such a long time.

Ram presented Sita with a beautiful pearl necklace before the commencement of the coronation. She sought out Hanuman and begged him to accept the necklace as a token of her undying gratitude. Hanuman was thrilled to have such an honour conferred on him.

At last Ram's coronation was complete. The gods smiled down on the new king of Ayodhya. From then on prosperity and happiness reigned in the land.
