Lord Ram was son of Dasharatha (King of Ayodhya) and Queen Kaushalya.King Dasharatha had three queens – Kaushalya, Kaikeyi and the youngest Sumitra. King Dasharatha got sons after a lot of chanting and penance. Four sons were born from his three queens.
The eldest son was Rama from Kaushalya, Bharata from Kaikeyi and Lakshmana and Shatrughna from Sumitra.Lord Ram was very kind and humble in nature and a great warrior but for him justice and law were above all.
Lord Rama and his remaining brothers received education in the ashram of their Rajguru Vashista.When Lord Rama and other brothers came back after finishing his education, after sometime Guru Vishwamitra came in Kingdom of King Dashratha and he said to take Lord Rama and Laxman with him because some demons in his ashram did not allow him to worship.
Lord Rama and Laxman ji went to forest and killed the demon named Tadka.After that Lord Rama and Laxmanji went to Mithila with Guru Vishwamitra where Devi Sita's swayamvara was going to happen.The objective of that swayamvar was the marriage of Devi Sita.
The marriage of Devi Sita was to be done by the one who broke the bow of Lord Shiva in himself.Many warriors tried but could not even lift the bow.Then Lord Rama raised that bow at the behest of Guru Vishwamitra and married Devi Sita.
Queen kaikeyi was closest to King Dashratha and King Dashrath had also given her two boons when she saved King dashratha during a war. Queen Kaikeyi, under the guise of maid Manthara, asked King Dasharatha to take the throne of Ayodhya for his son Bharata and fourteen years' exile for Lord Rama. To protect his father's promise, Rama happily accepted fourteen years of exile.His father gave up his life after some time in the separation of Lord Rama.
Lord Rama with his beloved wife Sita and brother Lakshmana went to exile.He had happily spent 13 years of exile. But once demon Surpanakha, the younger sister of the demon king Ravana of Lanka, saw Lord Rama and was fascinated.She asked Lord Rama to marry her but Lord Rama told her that he is married.

Lord Ram caught him( golden deer) but he started to sound or mimicking like Lord Ram and said ,"Brother Laxman ,Save me." Hearing such voice of Lord Rama, Devi Sita got feared and sent Laxmanji to help Lord Rama.
In that mean time,Demon Ravana abducted Lady Sita by making form of a Rishi(sage).When Lord Ram and Lakshman were going in search of Devi Sita they reached at Rishimukh Parvat where they met Sugariva and Lord Hanuman.
Lord Rama helped Sugariva and killed his brother King Bali( King of Kishkindha) who had thrown Sugariva out from Kishkindha .Lord Ram made Sugariva the king of Kishkhindha .Sugriva also made a promise to Lord Rama that he and his Vanar sena (monkey army) would also try their best to free Devi Sita from the clutches of Ravana.
