Rama (Hindu deity) | ||
Note: Rama, one of the most widely worshipped Hindu deities, the embodiment of chivalry and virtue. Although there are three Ramas mentioned in Indian tradition, the name is specifically associated with Ramachandra, the seventh incarnation (avatar) of Vishnu. His story is told briefly in the Mahabharata and at great length in the Ramayana. References to Rama as an incarnation of Vishnu appear in the early centuries CE; however, probably no special worship of him occurred before the 11th century, and it was not until the 14th and 15th centuries that distinct sects appeared venerating him as the supreme god. | |
