Which queen of Dasaratha forced him to send Rama into exile?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
Kaikeyi
💡 Explanation:
Kaikeyi was King Dasaratha's wife who invoked two boons, forcing him to send Rama into exile for 14 years and install Bharata as crown prince. This was a pivotal moment in the Ramayana triggered by Manthara's manipulation. Sumitra and Kausalya were Dasaratha's other wives who did not demand Rama's exile.
