According to the Śivapurāṇa,
Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] once Śiva accompanied by Satī and seated on His Bull wandered over the Earth, in one of his sportive activities. Wandering over the ocean-girt Earth He reached Daṇḍaka forest (Today Panchvati in Maharashtra near Nasik).
There Śiva saw Rāma who was searching for Sitā who was deceitfully abducted by Rāvaṇa. Lakṣmaṇa too was there. [...]”.
Lord Śiva said: “[...] O Goddess [Satī], they are two brothers Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. They are heroic, intelligent sons of Daśaratha, born of the solar dynasty. The fair-complexioned one is the younger brother Lakṣmaṇa. He is the partial incarnation of Śeṣa. The elder one is the complete incarnation of Viṣṇu. He is called Rāma. He is incapable of being harassed. The lord has incarnated on the Earth for our welfare and the protection of the good”.

The son of Daśaratha known for his righteousness and truth: Parikṣit compared to him: An avatār of Hari born in the Ikṣvāku line; killed Rāvaṇa; His fame equalled that of Pṛthu.
King of the Kośala country and brother of Lakṣmaṇa, Bharata, and Śatrughna:
Disfigured Sūrpaṇakā; killed Mārīca (Subāhu) and other Rākṣasas in the yajña of Viśvāmitra;
bent and broke the bow of Śiva and married Sītā, put down the pride of Paraśurāma;
spent a forest life with his wife in obedience to his father's command;
killed Khara, Triśiras and 14,000 Rākṣasas;
performed the funeral rites to Jaṭāyu, and Kabandha, killed Vāli for the sake of Sugrīva;
put up a bridge across the sea, welcomed by the Lord of the seas; killed Rāvaṇa and Kumbhakarṇa in their capital, ordered Vibhīṣaṇa to perform funeral rites to his dead kith and kin;
recovered Sītā; enthroned Vibhīṣaṇa; left in an aerial chariot to Ayodhyā, embraced Bharata, paid respects to Brahmanas, Gurus, elders and was crowned by Vasiṣṭha just like Indra.
In his period which was the Tretāyuga, it looked like Kṛtayuga; sons, Kuśa and Lava; ruled for 1010 years;
led an exemplary household life, by his loyalty to his wedded wife; performed sacrifices by giving all his kingdom as dakṣiṇa, retaining only the ornaments and dress, and for Sītā, her saumāṅgalya. The Brahmanas returned the kingdom as they had no use for it and praised him.

Rāma or Śrīrāma, eldest of the four sons of Daśaratha and the grandson of Raghu,
The four sons Rāma, Bharata, Lakṣmaṇa and Śatrughna were religious and famous in the world.
All of them were devoted to Lord Mahādeva.

Sītā was the wife of Rāma who was born as a portion of Pārvatī because king Janaka propitiated Pārvatī by his penance.
Śiva, having been pleased with him gave him a bow. Śrīrāma broke this bow and Janaka gave Sītā in marriage to Rāma.
When Rāma was about to be consecrated, his step mother Kaikeyī asked for two boons to Daśaratha to grant which he promised earlier. As a result Bharata became the king.

Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa were sent to the forest along with Sītā.
Rāvaṇa abducted Sītā from the forest and took her to Laṃka. [...] Rāma went to Laṃka with His army and fought with Rāvaṇa who was killed along with the demon force.
While returning from Laṃka with Sītā, Rāma established Lord Mahādeva in the middle of the bridge which became famous as Rāmeśvara Mahādeva. (Rameshwaram).

Afterwards Rāma was installed on the throne. He reigned happily and worshipped Śankara by performing aśvamedha sacrifice. By the grace of Śiva, Śrīrāma achieved paramapada.

A life of epic journey across the country Bharatha Kandam crossing the ocean to establish Dharma; ‘constructing’ Nala Sethu in the process, like an umbilical cord to what is left of the great lost continent Kumari Kandam or Lemuria(the lost continent) which submerged at the end of Kritha Yuga, a continent that connected Africa on one side and Astra-Laya (Australia) on the other side, prior to the continental drift.

‘Destroying’ Ravana’s adharma, ahamkara, athimoha (unrighteousness, ego, excessive desire to own everything), while granting one of them, his wish of attaining Narayana Paadam at the hands of Narayana himself.

He was blessed with two sons named Lava and Kusha, It was in his reign that the holy Sage Bharata first organised dramatic performances (Art forms like Bharata Natya, Nataka etc), and Shatrughna killed the demon Lavana.

In Ayurveda, Rāmā is another name for Śvetakaṇṭakārī, a medicinal plant related to Kaṇṭakārī.
Rāmā is also mentioned as a synonym for Gṛhakanyā, a medicinal plant commonly identified with Aloe vera var. chinensis Baker from the Asphodelaceae family of flowering plants.

Śrī Rāma, the incarnation of Viṣṇu, is considered to be the most complete and perfect of all the avatāras. He possesses the qualities of a uttama-puruṣa (noble man) and a lakṣya-nāyaka (man committed to a goal). It is said that there are thirty three special structural characteristics in the image of Śrī Rāma.
Viṣṇu is represented as Śrī Rāma who is an embodiment of righteousness, love, compassion, order, heroism and beauty.
The devotees pray to him for patience, confidence, courage, hard working, obedience, and intelligence.

Having made over the sovereignty to his sons Lava and Kusha, Rāma made his exit from the world at the close of a glorious though chequered life, dedicated exclusively to the furtherance of good therein.
