Project Idea: Dasharatha and his Family

King Dasharatha lived a dramatic life, as did his ancestors in the line of kings descending from King Raghu.

Research Tip: Start with the Wikipedia article about Dasharatha and his wives Kaushalya, Sumitra, and Kaikeyi; his children Rama, Lakshsmana, Bharata, Shatrughna, and Shanta: there is also an article about the boy Dashratha killed in the hunting accident, Shravana. You will find comic books on Reserve in Bizzell: Dasharatha: The Story of Rama's Father and Ancestors of Rama. There is also an English translation of the Raghuvamsha online, and you can learn more about that epic at Wikipedia.
