In an ancient era when gods and mortals coexisted, the document describes the birth and childhood of Sita. As the princess of Videha, Sita was found in the earth by her childless parents, King Janaka and Queen Sunaina, after they performed special prayers to the Earth Goddess Bhudevi. Sita grew up in the kingdom of Videha, listening to stories of her ancestors and dreaming of touching a magical bow housed in the palace that no one could lift.
