FAQs

Dharma is righteous governance established through legitimate, rule-bound consecration: authority is granted by a just leader (Rāma) and confirmed through proper ritual, not mere force.

Vibhīṣaṇa is formally enthroned and anointed as king in Laṅkā, in the presence of Rakṣasas and well-wishers, following scriptural rites.

Rāma’s commitment to lawful order (rājadharma) and Lakṣmaṇa’s faithful execution of that lawful command.
