Ramayan contains 24000 shlokas and Gayatri Mantra has 24 words. The first word of every shlok combined makes Gayatri Mantra.
Lord Rama also had an elder sister named Shanta who was equally intelligent as her brothers.
To serve his brother, Lord Lakshaman invoked devi Nidra which took away his sleep, and his wife Urmila slept straight for 14 years in his place.
Ravan was a great veena player, later on veena became a symbol on his flag.
Maharishi Valmiki has not spoken about Lakshaman Rekha. It was Mandodri who mentioned the story of line for the first time.
Lakshmana is considered to be the incarnation of Sheshnag. While Bharata and Shatrughna are believed to be the incarnation of Sudarshan-chakra and conch-shell respectively.
Lakshman and Sita had spent many years in Dandakaranya forest during their exile.
It is believed that when Sita abandoned her body after being absorbed in the earth, lord Ram abandoned the earth after taking water samadhi in the river Saryu.
Sita, the bride of Lord Ram, was not King Janak's biological child.
