FAQs

Dharma is expressed as fidelity to daily sacred duties: even in travel and austerity-settings, one maintains nitya-karma (like sandhyā), showing steadiness in righteousness.

After lodging for the night near Viśvāmitra, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa rise at dawn and perform the prescribed morning observances.

Composure and disciplined routine—both princes are described as su-samāhita (well-collected), reflecting training in royal and spiritual conduct.
