Sita’s curses in Ramayana were so strong that whoever received them, is bearing their burden and effect even now, in Kalyuga.

There’s a legend behind whom did Sita cursed and why?

After sending Rama, Laxman, and Sita on exile, King Dashratha died of grief. Now Ram and Laxman had to offer libations to God for the peace of their father’s soul. They went to accumulate the necessary material for the ritual.

Huge amount of time had passed but Rama and Laxman were nowhere to be seen. It was time to offer libations, so Sita performed the rituals in the absence of the two brothers. When they returned, and Sita told them that she had already offered the libations, they did not believe her. So Sita asked them to confirm it with a cow, river Falguni, the flower of Ketaki, and a Brahmin.

When asked, all of them lied but there was a banyan tree which told the truth. Sita, angered by the lies, cursed all –the cow, the river, the flower, and the Brahmin.

The cow was cursed that she would be worshiped but would always have to eat what others would leave for her after eating.

River Falguni was cursed that it would be a river only in name. She would never be able to quench anyone’s thirst.

The flower of Ketaki was cursed that it would be a beautiful flower, but would never be used in the worship of Gods.

The Brahmin was cursed that no matter how much hard work he did, he would always have to be at others’ mercy for food.

In the Ramayana, Sita's revile is aimed at a specific episode and a person: Ahalya, the spouse of the wise Gautama. The justification for Sita's revile lies in Ahalya's activities and the results they had on Sita and her loved ones.

The Occurrence Including Ahalya:

Ahalya's story is a notable episode in the Ramayana. She was the spouse of the savvy Gautama. She was hoodwinked by Indra, the lord of the divine beings, who had appeared as Gautama to move toward her. Accepting she was with her better half, Ahalya was enticed by Indra.

At the point when Gautama found this trickiness, he was profoundly infuriated. He reviled both Indra, who had camouflaged himself as Gautama, and Ahalya, who had been faithless to her better half. Gautama's revile transformed Ahalya into a stone, and she stayed there until she was subsequently recovered by Master Rama.

Sita's Revile on Ahalya:

Sita, who herself had confronted low allegations and difficulties to her modesty while in imprisonment in Lanka, identified with Ahalya's predicament. She comprehended the misery and embarrassment Ahalya had persevered. At the point when Ahalya was reestablished to her unique structure by Ruler Rama's touch, Sita tended to her and articulated a revile.

In her revile, Sita passed that similarly as Ahalya had experienced due on to a revile for her activities, she, as well, would confront ramifications for the job she played in Sita's exile and for questioning Sita's virtue and modesty. Sita's revile was an approach to featuring the significance of perceiving and regarding a lady's purity and temperance.

Sita's revile on Ahalya filled in as a strong sign of the results of questioning a lady's personality and the significance of recognizing her blamelessness and ethicalness. It was a piercing second in the Ramayana, underscoring the subject of equity and the acknowledgment of the penances and sufferings persevered by ladies.

According to the Ramayana, Sita cursed the cow, the crow, the Brahmin, and the river in Gaya. She did this because they all lied to Rama about her innocence when he was falsely accusing her of infidelity.

The story goes that Rama and Sita were in Gaya when Rama went to fetch some water for his father. While he was away, Sita saw a crow stealing food from a cow. The cow told Sita that she was going to tell Rama what she had seen, but Sita begged her not to, as she was afraid of what Rama might do. The cow agreed, but on the condition that Sita would give her some food. Sita agreed, and gave the cow some of her own food.

When Rama returned, he saw Sita giving food to the cow. He became suspicious, and asked Sita what she was doing. Sita told him that the cow was hungry, so she had given her some food. Rama was not convinced, and asked the cow to tell him the truth. The cow, fearing Rama's wrath, lied and said that Sita had been unfaithful to him.

Rama was furious, and banished Sita from Ayodhya. Sita was heartbroken, but she accepted Rama's decision. She went to Valmiki's ashram, where she gave birth to their twin sons, Lava and Kusha.

Many years later, Rama and Sita were reunited, but Sita was still hurt by Rama's accusations. She decided to prove her innocence by entering a fire. If she was pure, the fire would not harm her. Sita entered the fire, and emerged unscathed. Rama was overjoyed to see that Sita was innocent, but he was also ashamed of himself for doubting her.

Sita then cursed the cow, the crow, the Brahmin, and the river for lying to Rama. She cursed the cow that only its back would be worshipped, the crow that it would always be hungry, the Brahmin that he would never be satisfied, and the river that it would always be dry in the summer.

The curses of Sita are a reminder that it is important to be truthful, even when it is difficult. It is also a reminder that we should be careful not to judge others too quickly.
