Sita (also spelled Sîta, Seeta or Seetha [ˈsiːt̪aː], listen meaning "furrow") also known as Vaidehi, Janaki, Maithili, Bhoomija, is the central female character of the Hindu epic Ramayana and a daughter of King Janak of Janakpur. She is the consort of the Hindu god Rama (avatar of Vishnu) and is an avatar of Lakshmi (Aadi Shakti of Lord Vishnu), goddess of wealth and wife of Vishnu. She is esteemed as a paragon of spousal and feminine virtues for all Hindu women. Sita is known for her dedication, self-sacrifice, courage and purity.
Sita is described as the daughter of the earth goddess Bhūmi and the adopted daughter of King Janaka of Mithila and Queen Sunayna. In her youth, she marries Rama, the prince of Ayodhya. Soon after her marriage, she is forced into exile with her husband and brother-in-law Lakshmana. While in exile, the trio settle in the Dandaka forest, from where she is abducted by Ravana, Rakshasa King of Lanka. She is imprisoned in the Ashoka Vatika of Lanka by Ravana. Sita is finally rescued by Rama in the climatic war where Rama slays Ravana. Sita goes into fire for her human body to come out of fire-god's protection and her imitation, abducted by ravan, gets back in the fire. Thereafter, Rama and Sita return to Ayodhya, where they are crowned as king and queen. However, Rama abandons a pregnant Sita when one of his subjects casts doubt over her chastity. In the refuge of Sage Valmiki's hermitage Sita gives birth to twins Lava and Kusha. After her sons grow up and unite with their father, Sita returns to her mother, the Earth's womb, for release from a cruel world as a testimony of her purity. Her other names are Bhumija and Janaki.
Sita is the Nepalese Princess of Janakpurdham in Mithila, Nepal, one of the National heroes of Nepal and mainly a wife of Indian Prince Rama in the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana.

In 2002, Sita released Happy in the United States, and "Happy" as a song was also included in the soundtrack of The Wild Thornberrys. As a consequence of her being involved in that movie's album, she received some coverage on Nickelodeon.

Blue, I dress for every situation
Moving through the doorway of the nation
Pick me up and shake me out
Baby, I can't do without
Move out, don't mess around
Move out, you bring me down
Move out, how'd you get about?
Don't make a sound, just move out
I remember only for an hour
Move right through me, can you feel the power?
I don't know what's going on
It's getting me but it won't be long
Move out, don't mess around
Move out, you bring me down
Move out, how'd you get about?
Don't make a sound, just move out
Move out, don't mess around
Move out, you bring me down
Move out, how'd you get about?
Don't make a sound, just move out
Move out, don't mess around
Move out, you bring me down
Move out, how'd you get about?
Don't make a sound, just move out
Now he's in control he is your lover
Nation stands against him he's your brother
Been a long time, been a long time
Now I've got to give somehow
Move out, don't mess around
Move out, you bring me down
Move out, how'd you get about?
Don't make a sound, just move out, oh yeah
