Rama, Laskhmana, and Viswamithra travel to Mithila where Rama and Janaka's daughter Sita see each other from afar and feel an instant attraction. The next day at the assembly hall, Janaka offers Sita's hand in marriage to Rama, who proves himself by stringing and breaking Shiva's bow. A quick wedding and celebration follows, where Rama and Sita are united though they appear as strangers in their mortal forms, having been together previously as the divine beings Vishnu and Lakshmi in heaven.
