An idol of the Ram Darbar shows Lord Ram, the
seventh avatar of the Hindu God Vishnu, with his consort Sita, another avatar
of Goddess Laxmi, and younger brother Lakshman. This statue is made of brass
metal using sand casting technique. In the Hindu
mythologies, Lord Ram is pictured as the ideal man and the perfect human.
For the sake of his father's honour, Rama had to abandon his claim to Kosala's
throne to serve an exile of fourteen years in the forest. His wife Sita and
brother Lakshman.
According to Hindu mythologies, Lord Ram, Sita and Lakshman are of
great importance. Speacially in the holy book of Ramayana, where Lord Ram faces
a fierce group of demons to win back his wife Sita, and he was all the way
accompanied by his younger brother Lakshman.
If we go strictly by the Hindu mythologies,
then we would come to the fact that Lord
Ram possessed qualities which include the likes of humble, soft nature,
forgiving and caring. He has been an example of a perfect man, who would go up
to do anything to get his wife back to him. He was a son, who could spend 14
long years in exile just because his father had asked him to. He was a caring
brother who cared more about his brother Lakshman than himself.
Lakshman is the ultimate example of
selflessness. Lakshman had followed
his brother to the exile when he was not asked to. He did all that he could to
save his respected sister-in-law and yet again, he was never for a single time
disrespectful towards his brother.
Sita resembles
the example of purity and unconditional love. Although she had been maltreated
by the demon king Ravana, she never did allow him to mallice her sovernity in
any possible way. Her Lakshmi avatar is a symbol of richness and harmony. The
ultimate queen to the land of riches, Lakshmi not only represents monetary
benefits, but also food and other consumable things.
Thus, an idolof Ram Darbar is contemplation on the a variety of divine qualities of Lord
Rama and Goddess Sita, which purifies the mind of man and renders it pious.
