Pertunjukan Sendratari Ramayana Candi Prambanan

Raja Janaka mengadakan sayembara untuk mencarikan Dewi Shinta calon suami. Barang siapa saja yang bisa mengangkat busur Siwa, dia bisa menikahi Dewi Shinta. Banyak raja dan pangeran yang datang, tetapi gagal mengangkat Busur Siwa. Akhirnya Ramawijaya, pangeran Ayodya, berhasil mengangkat Busur Siwa.

Ketika Rama mengangkat Busur Siwa, arwah dari dewi Widowati melihat hal itu, dan dia percaya bahwa Rama bisa memenuhi keinginannya untuk bisa membunuh Rahwana. Kemudia dia memasuki dan bersatu dengan Dewi Shinta.

Setelah Rama mematahkan busur Siwa, para raja dan pangeran marah dan menyerang Rama. Dibantu adiknya, Lesmana, Rama berhasil mengalahkan semua para raja dan pangeran. Rama berhasil dalam sayembara tersebut dan berhak untuk menikahi Dewi Shinta.
