Sir , It's not Rama , It's Ram. The name 'Rama' is not used at anywhere in Ramayan. So, fix it as Ram instead of Rama. 2409:40C1:A:83A1:8C1E:B3FF:FEED:446C (talk) 15:18, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's complete wrong. The name is Rama - however across Indian languages, there are other forms of the name popular like Raman, Ram etc. Wikiforhistory (talk) 18:06, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
