Prambanan temple complex [[Java]], [[Indonesia]] ]] In [[Hinduism]], '''Sita''' was the daughter of [[Janaka]] and wife of [[Rama]], an [[avatar]] of [[Deity|god]] [[Vishnu]]. The word Sita means “furrow”, that is, the line created on the farm when it is ploughed. She is believed to be the daughter of [[Bhūmi]] in many legends. There is a story about Sita's birth. Her father Janaka was ploughing the land and a furrow was formed. From that furrow a [[baby]] [[girl]] came out. Janaka took the girl as his daughter and named her Sita. In [[Hinduism]], Sita is considered a form of the [[goddess]] [[Lakshmi]]. Sita is worshiped for her greatness and for her loyalty. She was the goddess of loyalty and her responsibility. ==Other websites== {{Commonscat-inline|Sita}} {{religion-stub}} [[Category:Hindu gods and goddesses]]
