The exiles move further south to the banks of the sacred Godavari River, settling at Panchavati. The beauty of the forest and the proximity of holy sages provide a peaceful backdrop to their daily lives. However, this tranquility is shattered when the demoness Shurpanakha encounters them. Her advances toward Rama and subsequent mutilation by Lakshmana trigger a chain of events that attracts the attention of her brother, the powerful demon-king Ravana.
