Sita and the Golden Deer

Ravana made all the arrangements to start for his mission. Meanwhile, his minister, Marich, offered his help to accomplish his mission. Near the Panchavati, Marich changed himself in the form of a beautiful golden deer! Jumping here and there, it caught sight of Sita. Rama and Laxmana were also present in the hut. Pleadingly, Sita said, "O honorable Rama, look what a wonderful golden deer is roaming around our hut. I am very much desirous of having his skin for my use. Will you not bring it for me?"

This is my first entry for 's Indian Mythology contest. I love mythologies!

I chose the epic poem Ramayana. I always been fascinated by it. This is the scene where Sita asks Rama to hunt that deer for her.
