Lakshmana insists on joining Rama and Sita because of his strong loyalty to Rama. When Rama is ordered by his father, King Dasharatha, to live in the forest for 14 years, Lakshmana objects to what he sees as an injustice and urges Rama to resist. After Rama chooses to obey his father, Lakshmana leaves behind the royal household and his wife, Urmila, to go with them. In the forest he helps find food and shelter, carries weapons, and guards Rama and Sita.
