| Formation of Vanar-Sena |
The formation of Vanar-Sena (Monkey Army) is an important event in the epic Ramayana. When Lord Rama's wife Sita was abducted by the demon king Ravana, Rama sought the help of Sugriva, the king of Vanaras (monkeys). Sugriva, in return for Rama's assistance in defeating his brother Vali, promised to help Rama in his quest to rescue Sita. Thus, the Vanar-Sena was formed, consisting of brave and powerful monkeys, including Hanuman, Nala, Neela, and Jambavan.

| Role of Vanar-Sena |
The Vanar-Sena played a crucial role in the search for Sita. Hanuman, a key member of the Vanar-Sena, discovered Sita in Lanka, Ravana's kingdom. He reassured Sita that Rama would come to rescue her and also burnt down a part of Lanka as a warning to Ravana. The Vanar-Sena also helped in building a bridge, known as Rama Setu, across the ocean to Lanka.

| Victory over Ravana |
In the ensuing war against Ravana, the Vanar-Sena fought valiantly. They were instrumental in the defeat of Ravana's army. Hanuman's strength, agility, and devotion to Rama were particularly noteworthy. Despite facing powerful adversaries like Indrajit, Ravana's son, the Vanar-Sena, under the leadership of Rama, emerged victorious. The victory of Rama and his Vanar-Sena over Ravana symbolizes the triumph of good over evil.
