The Trail Tale: Sage Agasthya directed Lord Rama, Devi Sita, and Laxman to stay in Panchvati during their exile. Panchvati is a part of Dandakaranya Forest. The trio on exile moved deep into the forest, visited the hermitage of Atri, and sought his blessings. His wife, Anusuiya gave jewellery to Devi Sita as gift that she dropped in Kishkindha, while being abducted to Sri Lanka.
It was in Panchvati, where Suparnakha (Ravana’s sister) got disfigured by Laxman. Her brothers Khar and Dushan were killed by Rama and Laxman when they came to avenge their sister. Thus, Ravana hatched the plan to abduct Sita and executed it in Panchvati itself.
