Rama

Rama, Hindu deity worshiped throughout India as the seventh incarnation of Vishnu.

Rama is the central figure of the Sanskrit epic poem the Ramayana and represents the ideal hero. His story probably originated in oral folk narratives about a prince of the Indian state of Kosala.

Although Rama is a secular hero in the central part of the epic, in the first and sixth books he is depicted as an incarnation of Vishnu who comes to earth to kill the demon king Ravana.
