City of Ayodhya, Birthplace of the Ideal Man

Born in the Northern Indian City of Ayodhya to the warrior caste family of King Dasaratha, Rama is educated in the culture, philosophy and literature of his people as well as archery.   He uses these skills at archery to travel with religious leaders to destroy certain Rakshasas and restore the Hindu rituals.  As I stated earlier, Rama is an archetypal warrior hero and meets all of the qualities listed in the description on the course webpage.   One that I noticed throughout the text was Rama’s discipline, especially the fact that he will follow commands and do his duty without reservation.  Rama is presented as person who will always do the “right thing” and will do nothing that will take him away from his quest. He is known as he "ideal man".
