             There quite a few folklores in Garhwal and Kumaon about Ramayana epic stories. If at all found those are in customary fashion. Very fewer efforts were made by local Kumaoni-Garhwali folk literature creator for localizing Ramayana epic stories.

          The following folk songs lines are from a long religious Kumaoni folk song. The story of said epic folk song is about second exile for Sita but with local touches.

             Rama with Sita and Lakshamana had returned to Ayodhya from fourteen years exile of living in forests.  One day, in Ayodhya, sister of Rama asked Sita the reason that she was in Lanka but Sita never depicts stories of Lanka of Ravan.

  Then Sita illustrated through drawing about Lanka. There was Lankagarh, Rakshas army, Palace and all warriors. Everything was made by gold. In centre there was drawing of Ravan. Ravan was shown as if he had twenty elephant power.

        As just Sita was showing the drawing to her sister in law that Rama came there. Rama saw the drawing illustrated by Sita. Rama saw the drawing and illustration. Rama suspected on Sita. Rama ordered exile for Sita. Rama ordered his younger brother Lakshamana to leave Sita in dense forest. Lakshaman left Sita in dense forest. When Sita awoke she was at the bank of Yamuna in dense forest. Sita saw in all direction nobody was there. Sita became unconscious.
