Rama
Rama (Sanskrit) The seventh avatara or incarnation of Vishnu and the eldest son of King Dasaratha of the solar race. Hero of the Ramayana, his full name is Ramachandra, and tradition makes him the first king of the divine or earliest dynasties as given in the Hindu epics. He married Sita, a feminine avatara of Lakshmi (Vishnu's consort), who was carried away by Ravana, the demon-king of the rakshasas of Lanka, a remnant of Atlantis. This act led to the famous war related in the Ramayana.

Rama
- This article is about the incarnation of Vishnu and Hindu deity. For other meanings see: Rama and Ramachandra disambiguation pages.
Rama ( in IAST, in Devanāgarī) or Ramachandra was a legendary king of ancient India. In Hinduism, he is considered to be the seventh Avatar of Vishnu.
Rama is one of the most popular heroes of Hinduism and its religious scriptures in South and Southeast Asia. The majority of details concerning Rama come from the Ramayana, one of the two great epics of India. Born as the eldest son of Kausalya and Dasaratha, king of Ayodhya, Rama is referred to within Hinduism as Maryada Purushottama, literally the Perfect Man. Rama is the husband of Sita, who Hindus consider to be an Avatar of Lakshmi and the embodiment of perfect womanhood.

Rama (video game)
Rama is a first-person adventure game developed and published by Sierra Entertainment in 1996. The game is based on Arthur C. Clarke's books Rendezvous with Rama and Rama II and supports both DOS and Windows 95. It is the second Rama game to be produced. Earlier, a text adventure with low-resolution semi-static view graphics for every visited location was released in 1984 by Telarium (also confusingly double-branding on its products as Trillium) and exported to systems such as the Apple II and Commodore 64.
