We already said that there were lots of factors unknown to us about the epic dramas Ramayanam and Mahabharatham. Most of us don't know about the real facts of Sita's 'Swayamvar'. Did you know that Sita was about to get married to Ravana during her Swayamvar ?
As per Ramayana, Lord Rama, Sita and Ravana had earlier encountered each other during Sita's massive swayamvar. It was organized by her father Janak. King Janak invited Ravana too.
It is a rule that Kingdoms of those times must send invitation to all potential Kings of all kingdoms requesting them to compete for his daughter. Ravana almost defeated every groom present and he decided to take up the bow as winner. But that is the time where Lord Rama arrived and the rest is history.
Lord Shiva and his spouse Parvati are two of the main deities worshipped in Hinduism. Gauri pooja is done to get the blessings of Lord Shiva and Parvati. The same gauri pooja also played a major role in the wedding of Sita.
