description: For centuries, Indians have held Rama to be the perfect man: unfailingly noble, utterly poised, fearless and strong, wise, compassionate and free from anger, a just ruler and an implacable foe of all wrongdoers. Countless others worship Rama as an iavatar/i, a human incarnation of Lord Vishnu born to vanquish the forces of evil and establish a Kingdom of perfect justice and harmony upon the earth.
