But again I have a doubt, there's a verse in Valmiki ramayan : Sita tells Ravan that Shri Rama was 25 years old and she was 18 years old when they left to the forest and they'd spent 12 years after their marriage at Ayodya.

I'll find out the extact verse and let u know.

btw, reading the title of this topic , I thought you'd become the PA of Ramji ....I thought what?! so Lucky you!!😉😆

Thanks for the calender of events, Rajnish. Great job!!!

I read another account with slightly different time scales.

I had reas that Lord Ram was 16 years old when he married Sita and then they spent 14 years in the palace as husband and wife and that the war in Lanka lasted for 10 days.

I shall find the source and get back with more information.
