What If??...Ramayan was a Sitayan
Concept
What if Sita is the protagonist and hero of the Ramayan, and Indrajit, the eldest son of Raavan, is the antagonist, rather than Raavan. Indrajit imprisons his father in an attempt to forcefully marry Sita, as his father is not taking any action and is waiting for Sita's approval even after Hanuman burns the whole Lanka and kills his younger brother Akshaykumar. A new and transformed Sita is being born as a result of all this tragedy when she stands for herself.
SITA before TRANSFORMATION
Sita is a loyal wife to Ram. Her tendency is to be kind and empathetic towards others. She gave up royal luxury to live with a ram. In exile, they lead a simple life in the forests. After her captivity, she relied heavily on Ram to save her from Raavan.

Sita's Weapons
DAGGER(KHANJAR)
This is a secret weapon that she kept as a secondary weapon for some intense situations. Her dagger has a ring-like structure on the handle for tying the same thread of the bow on it and it will become a dagger that can reach distances and be controlled by the thread.
BOW
Ram generally used a bow and arrow weapon. This defines Sita's choice to use a bow as her primary weapon as a memory of Ram. She uses the bow without arrows, as the arrows appear through her powers on their own. She wraps around the thread(pratyancha) for the bow in her hand. This way, she can use her bow as a shaft in ordinary situations that do not involve intense violence.
