Why did Sita, one of the most revered women in the Ramayana tradition, have to face another painful separation from Rama even after returning from Lanka?
One lesser-known narrative attempts to answer this question through an emotional story involving a pair of parrots, a childhood incident and a curse. According to a version associated with the Padma Purana, Sita encountered a pair of parrots when she was young. What appeared to be a harmless childhood act eventually became connected to a curse that returned years later.
