The Seed of Arrogance Setting: A lush forest near Panchavati

The Seed of Arrogance Setting: A lush forest near Panchavati. Sita, dressed in simple attire, is seen picking flowers, her face serene and peaceful. Action: Ravana, disguised as a wandering sage, approaches Sita with a cunning smile. He admires her from a distance before stepping closer. Dialogue: Ravana (in disguise, softly): “O virtuous lady, accept my hospitality and come with me to my golden city, Lanka.” Sita (politely declining): “I am devoted to my husband, Lord Rama. I cannot leave.” Action: Ravana’s smile fades, and his face hardens as he reveals his true identity, grabbing Sita and forcing her into his chariot despite her struggles. Dialogue: Ravana (arrogantly): “Your Rama is no match for me. Soon, you will know the grandeur of my palace and the futility of defying me.”
