What is the problem in ramayana?

The central problem in the Ramayana revolves around the exile of Lord Rama, the rightful heir to the throne of Ayodhya, due to a promise made by his father, King Dasharatha, to his stepmother Kaikeyi. This leads to Rama's departure to the forest with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana. The narrative unfolds further with Sita's abduction by the demon king Ravana, prompting Rama's quest to rescue her, which highlights themes of duty, righteousness, and the struggle between good and evil. Ultimately, the story explores the complexities of dharma (duty) and the consequences of choices made by its characters.
