Rama and Sita's pair resembles Lord Narayan and Goddess Lakshmi.
They look like the Sun and its rays.

All Hail Lord Ramachandra.
My Rama.

All Hail Siyapati Ramachandra.

Today is a very auspicious day.
Four forms of Goddess Lakshmi are adorning Ayodhya.
Queen Kaushalya, please welcome our daughters-in-law
so that you can proceed to conducting the other rituals.
[theme song playing]
Rama.
My Rama.
[theme song continues playing]
[theme song playing]
You have welcomed us in such a grand way, Mother.
You have given a touch of your grandeur
to all of Ayodhya.
But all my attempts
have been unsuccessful.
Ayodhya's beauty is
not even a fragment of
my beautiful and dear Sita's beauty.
[sinister music playing]
Dear Sita.
Perfect and complete Sita
for my accomplished Rama.
May no one's
evil-eye befall you.
[mellow music playing]
Go.
[flute playing]
Mother.
Bharata.
[flute playing]
My dear Bharata.
[flute playing]
You are not my daughter-in-law.
You are my daughter, Mandavi.
Our daughters don't touch the feet of others.
They embrace their mothers.
I would never find
a beautiful daughter-in-law like you
for my Bharata, even if I searched with a lamp.
[mellow music playing]
Mandavi.
I remembered you a lot, Mother.
I wish that you had been present there.
'When our son Bharata gets married, '
'his mother will be present at the wedding.'
I am aware.
You must have missed your Mother's presence.
Yes.
But Sita was present
as a mother to fill your absence.
To protect Father's word.
And, Mother,
I got married along with Rama,
at the same time that Rama was married
and under the same canopy that he got married in.
What could be more auspicious than this, for me?
[flute playing]
Go.
[mellow music playing]
Did you see that?
Neither did your husband give importance to your presence,
nor did your son
feel the need for your presence.
Innocent Kaikeyi has been deceived
under the name of motherly love.
Please proceed, Queen.
Please enjoy the 'Grihapravesha'
of your new daughter-in-law. Go on.
[melancholic music playing]
A daughter-in-law is an embodiment of Goddess Mahalakshmi.
Pour the rice grains out of the urn
and bring happiness and prosperity into your life, dear child.
[conch-shell playing]
[vocalisation]
The 'Grihapravesha' has now been completed.
Beginning from this day, you are of this house,
and this house is yours. Always and forever.
Mother, we are hungry after completing a long journey.
I knew that you would first ask for something to eat.
Come with me.
[mellow music playing]
Rama.
[mellow music playing]
Shatrughna, this is the wedding feast.
As per tradition, you must eat it without bending your arm.
Without bending my arm?
How will I be able to eat without bending my arm, Mother?
That is where the tactic lies.
Okay, Mother. I will attempt to do it.
[mellow music playing]
[mellow music continues playing]
Shatrughna,
are you attempting to eat the meal or offering it to your dear God?
Watch how this sweetmeat enters my mouth.
[laughing]
Do not mock me.
Please tell me how this has to be accomplished.
[clearing throat]
The thing is,
I am aware of how to proceed.
But how can I have my meal
before my dear Rama does?
[flute playing]
That is why,
Rama will demonstrate how it has to be done.
Rama.

[mellow music continues playing]
Wonderful, Rama.
This is not one of the wedding games.
It teaches us one of life's lessons.
If you satisfy someone else's hunger before yours.
If you think about other's well-being
then your karma always comes back.
There is one more learning in this.
If all the brothers live together
and share each other's joys and sorrows,
then your lives will be filled with happiness.
Mother, Rama shared this lesson with us before we left for 'Gurukul.'
[flute playing]
They make a good pair.
Bharata is Rama's aide.
And Mandavi is an aide to Sita.
[sinister music playing]
Let us proceed
to play one more game.
[mellow music playing]
All the daughters-in-law,
will place their rings in the vessels.
The groom and bride will try to acquire the ring.
The one who gets it wins the game.
[flute playing]
Hmm.
Whose turn will it be first, Mother?
You have always objected
that the youngest gets his chance in the end.
Let us make you happy today.
Let us begin this ritual with you today.
Please begin.
[mellow music playing]
Wait and watch, Mother. My brothers and I will win this game.
Hmm.
[flute playing]
I have found it.
[flute playing fades]
Look at this.
[ethereal music playing]
[laughing]
What is this, Shatrughna?
How could you not win such a simple game?
Your turn is next, Lakshmana.
Let us see how well you display your might.
Wait and watch.
[mellow music playing]
What happened dear brother Lakshmana?
Welcome to the group of husbands who have lost to their wives.
I will show you
how this game is won.
[flute playing]
But...
Rama,
Sita, it is now your turn.
Rama, our reputation is at stake.
You have to win this game.
For the first time in my life, I wish Rama would lose this game.
And my sister-in-law who is like a mother
wins the game.
Did you hear that?
Your son called her mother.
Me?
When did he call me?
Not you.
He referred to Sita as a mother.
He called her with such endearment
that it brought tears to my eyes.
He has never called you so lovingly, Kaikeyi.
[tense music playing]
You are mistaken.
A sister-in-law is also considered as a mother.
[mellow music playing]
Sita,
you must win this game.
[joyful music playing]
[theme song playing]
Excellent.
[flute playing]
Our elder daughter-in-law also has won this game.
What is this, Rama?
The one who slaughtered Tataka,
the one who snapped Lord Mahadeva's bow
could not win this simple game.
[mellow music playing]
Why should there be competition in relationships, Shatrughna?
In relationships, we win
even when we lose.
[mellow music playing]
That is why you have the right
to this symbol of victory.
