परिचय
भगवान राम और माता सीता का विवाह एक पवित्र घटना है, जिसे रामायण में विस्तार से वर्णित किया गया है। सीता स्वयंवर में भगवान राम द्वारा शिवजी के धनुष को तोड़ने के बाद, राजा जनक ने बड़े हर्षोल्लास से विवाह समारोह की तैयारियां कीं। यह विवाह केवल राम और सीता का नहीं था, बल्कि राम के तीनों भाइयों – लक्ष्मण, भरत और शत्रुघ्न – के विवाह भी इस शुभ अवसर पर संपन्न हुए।
विवाह की भव्य तैयारियां
राम के विजयी होने के बाद, राजा जनक ने अयोध्या में राजा दशरथ को यह शुभ समाचार भेजा। दशरथ अत्यंत प्रसन्न हुए और अपने परिवार तथा अयोध्यावासियों के साथ मिथिला पहुंचे। विवाह समारोह अत्यंत भव्य रूप से आयोजित किया गया, जिसमें ऋषि-मुनियों, राजाओं और देवताओं को आमंत्रित किया गया।
विवाह समारोह
वैदिक मंत्रों और शुभ आशीर्वादों के बीच यह दिव्य विवाह संपन्न हुआ। भगवान राम और माता सीता ने अग्नि के चारों ओर सात पवित्र फेरे लिए और एक-दूसरे को धर्म और प्रेम का वचन दिया।
इसी अवसर पर, लक्ष्मण का विवाह उर्मिला (सीता की छोटी बहन) से, भरत का विवाह मांडवी से, और शत्रुघ्न का विवाह श्रुतकीर्ति से हुआ (ये दोनों जनक के भाई कुशध्वज की पुत्रियाँ थीं)। यह विवाह दो राजवंशों के बीच संबंधों को मजबूत करने वाला सिद्ध हुआ।
