About the Ramayana :- The Ayodhya Kanda is the most emotionally powerful section of the Ramayana. As King Dasharatha prepares to crown Rama as heir, Queen Kaikeyi — influenced by her maid Manthara — invokes two ancient boons, demanding that Rama be exiled for 14 years and her own son Bharata be crowned instead. Rama accepts exile without a moment of hesitation, demonstrating perfect obedience and dharma. Sita and Lakshmana insist on accompanying him. The citizens of Ayodhya weep as the three depart for the forest. King Dasharatha dies of grief. When Bharata learns of these events, he rushes to the forest and begs Rama to return, but Rama refuses to break his father's word. Bharata takes Rama's sandals and places them on the throne, ruling as regent. This kanda teaches the supreme value of keeping one's word and the power of sacrifice.

Rama saw that royal route like divine passage in heaven. All the road junctions there were regularly worshipped with yoghurt, unbroken rice, clarified butter, fried grain, incense, aloe and sandal and all types of garlands and perfumes.

तत्पृथिव्यां गृहवरं महेन्द्रसदनोपमम् || २-१७-१९
राजपुत्रः पितुर्वेश्म प्रविवेश श्रिया ज्वलन् |

Rama approached the royal abode and entered his father's palace which was the best palace with blazing radiance like the palace of king of celestials on earth. All around the house, there were various types turrets looking like Mount Kailasa, as group of clouds, as white heavenly cars touching the sky. There were royal houses named vardhamana which were adorned with a net of precious stones.

वह राजपुत्र, पिता के घर में प्रवेश करते हुए, बादलों के समूह के समान शुभ, विविध, कैलाश पर्वत की चोटियों जैसे ऊँचे, विमानों की तरह आकाश को ढकने वाले श्वेत प्रासादों और रत्नों से सुसज्जित वर्धमान गृहों से सुशोभित, इन्द्र के भवन के समान उस पृथ्वी पर सबसे उत्तम घर में, लक्ष्मी से दीप्तिमान हो रहा था।

Ayodhya Kanda – Sarga 17 · v16
स कक्ष्या धन्विभिर्गुप्तास्तिस्रोऽतिक्रम्य वाजिभिः || २-१७-२०
पदातिरपरे कक्ष्ये द्वे जगाम नरोत्तमः |

Rama the best of men crossed with chariot three enclosures protected by men armed with bows and moved over the other two enclosures by foot.

वह श्रेष्ठ नर, धनुर्धारियों से रक्षित तीन कक्षों को घोड़ों द्वारा पार करके, अगले दो कक्षों में पैदल गया।

Ayodhya Kanda – Sarga 17 · v17
स सर्वाः समतिक्रम्य कक्ष्या दशरथात्मजः || २-१७-२१
संनिवर्त्य जनं सर्वं शुद्धान्तःपुरुमत्यगात् |

That Rama passed over all the gates, sent all the people back and entered the palace.

दशरथपुत्र राम सभी बाधाओं को पार कर, सभी लोगों को पीछे छोड़कर अंतःपुर में प्रवेश कर गए।

तस्मिन् प्रविष्टे पितुर्न्तिकं तदा |
जनः स सर्वो मुदितो नृपात्मजे |
प्रतीक्षते तस्य पुनः स्म निर्गमम् |
यथोदयं चन्द्रमसः सरित्पतिः || २-१७-२२

When Rama went nearer to his father, all the people there were delighted waiting for his return as the ocean waits for raising of the moon.

जब राजा के पुत्र अपने पिता के पास पहुँचे, तो सभी लोग प्रसन्न हुए। वे उसी प्रकार उनके पुनः बाहर आने की प्रतीक्षा करने लगे, जैसे समुद्र चंद्रमा के उदय की प्रतीक्षा करता है।
