Story:

We continued our story and discussed how Sri Rama requested Sita to dress herself in royal queen-like clothes before appearing before him.  Then Sita was asked to take the Fire Test.  Sita had to prove to the world that she was pure inspite of having stayed at Lanka for a year.  To do that, she asked Lakshmana to light a fire, and she stepped onto it.  Agni-deva came out of the fire holding her and announcing to the world that she was very very pure.  After that, Sri Rama happily accepted her and took her back to Ayodhya.  Then was the happy coronation of Rama, Sita in Ayodhya and they lived happily ever after.
