The perfect king



After fourteen years, Rama, Sita, and Lakshman return in triumph to Ayodhya, and to the people's infinite delight, Rama assumes his rightful role as king. To this very day, the expression "the reign of Rama" the king ruled with complete integrity and absolute commitment to the welfare of his beloved subjects. It was a time of peace, prosperity, justice, and joy. This is something of a contrast with government in India today, which may be why Indians speak of "the reign of Rama" with such nostalgia!
