In this scene from the Aranya khanda of Sri Valmiki Ramayana we see Sita Devi with Her husband Lord Ramacandra and His younger brother the valiant Laksmana. By the arrangement of providence Lord Rama was exiled to the forest for fourteen years by His father the Emperor Dasaratha in order to keep his promise of giving a boon to his favorite wife Queen Kaikeyi. As her boon she demanded that Rama be banished and her son Bharata the younger brother of Rama become Emperor instead. Lord Rama, the paragon of virtue, obeyed His father so that His father's word of honor would be true and left for the forest. His devoted brother and chaste wife followed him. While in the forest they met exalted Rshis like Baradvaja and Agastya and asked them where would be the most auspicious place for Them to set up Their ashrama while in the forest? They were directed to reside in the beautiful place called Pancavati. Since They played the part of the warrior caste as part of Their dharma They were allowed to eat the meat of deer They killed and use the skins for covering.
