Sita
'''Sita''', in [[Hindu mythology]] is the wife of [[Rama]] (an [[avatar]] of [[Vishnu]]) and the daughter of Janaka; she was kidnapped by King [[Ravana]] of the [[Raksha]]s, but rescued by her husband, who then became King of [[Ayodhya]].  She has two sons, namely LuvLava and Kusha.

The actual birth place of Sita is "Punaura" located in Sitamarhi district of Bihar state in India.

The story of her kidnapping and subsequent rescue forms the core of the [[Sanskrit]] epic, the [[Ramayana]], written by [[Valmiki]] ca. 250 BCE.
