Urmila (Ramayana)
''Urmila'' is one of the major characters in the Hindu epic Ramayana. She was the daughter of King Janaka of Mithila and Queen Sunayana and the younger sister of Sita. She was the wife of Lakshmana with whom she had two sons, Angada and Dhumaketu.
==Life & History==
According to Ramayana, when Lakshmana was leaving for the forest with lord Rama, Urmila was ready to accompany him. But, Lakshmana hesitates and advises her to stay back to take care of her in laws. He also states that he cannot take care of her in the forest as he will be busy serving his brother and apologizes to her. Urmila agrees and remains a devoted wife for fourteen years until her husband returned.
Another version states that Urmila asked Nidra, the goddess of sleep, to take away all of Lakshmana's sleep for the fourteen years of exile, so that he could remain awake and ever attentive to Rama and Sita's needs. She remained asleep throughout the fourteen years, waking up to see Rama's coronation when Lakshmana returned to Ayodhya and relieves her of her duties.
It is also said that when Rama banished Sita in to the forest, Urmila was the only one who opposed Rama for his wrongful deed. She also opposed her own husband for supporting Rama and for taking Sita to forest.
