How long did king Rama live?

King Rama, a central figure in the Hindu epic Ramayana, is often considered a divine incarnation of the god Vishnu. In the epic, he is said to have lived for about 11,000 years, although this is a mythological account rather than a historical record. The timeline and duration of his life are symbolic, emphasizing his righteousness and role in the cosmic order rather than providing a factual lifespan.
