According to Hindu Mythology
Rama(;
Sanskrit: राम
Rāma) is the
seventh avatar of the Hindu god
Vishnu and a king of
Ayodhya. Rama is also the protagonist of the
Hindu epic Ramayana, which narrates his idealistic ideas and his greatness. Rama is one of the many popular figures and deities in
Hinduism, specifically
Vaishnavism and Vaishnava religious scriptures in
South Asia and
Southeast Asia. Along with
Krishna, Rama is considered to be one of the most important avatars of Vishnu. In a few Rama-centric sects, he is considered the Supreme Being, rather than an avatar.
