Sita was happy to be back in Ayodhya and life was getting back to normal after the
coronation of Lord Rama as the king of Ayodhya but the ghosts of Lanka haunted Sita. One
day Lord Rama in disguise was strolling around his kingdom and overheard a washerwoman
discuss Sita with her husband. She said, “Rama accepted Sita despite her long stay in Lanka.
If the same happened to me, would you trust me and take me back home?’ The washerman
had no answer and the seed of doubt was planted in Rama’s mind.
