When sage Vishwamitra took Lord Rama with him to end the troubles and hindrances created by Tadka, Lakshman accompanied them. He joined the pair to Mithila to attend Mother Sita’s swayamvar. What happened there?

The people of Ayodhya were so happy to see the two mesmerising princes.

Just before entering the palace they saw 4 gorgeous girls hiding behind the pillars trying to catch a glipmse.

They were the 2 daughters of Janak and his brother’s.

The brothers just saw the two princess or the daughters of the king.

One was the famous Sita. Who was the other?

The other girl was mesmerised by the younger prince.

He too seemed to be gazing at her.

What was this mesmerisation?

Was it just attraction or was this some age old connection?

Have they ever met before?

If so where?
