Which avatar of Vishnu is the prince of Ayodhya?

Rama is the avatar of Vishnu who is the prince of Ayodhya.

In the Ramayana, Rama is the eldest son of King Dasharatha of Ayodhya and Queen Kausalya. He is famed as an exemplary prince whose conduct embodies dharma, or righteous duty. Although he is destined to inherit the throne, a palace promise sends him into fourteen years of forest exile, accompanied by Sita and Lakshmana.

Rama’s exile leads to the abduction of Sita by Ravana, the rakshasa king of Lanka. With help from allies including Hanuman and the vanara army, Rama defeats Ravana and returns to Ayodhya. His homecoming is celebrated in traditions associated with Diwali.

A common mix-up is confusing Rama with Krishna, another major Vishnu avatar. Rama is especially associated with Ayodhya and the Ramayana, while Krishna is linked with Mathura, Vrindavan, and the Mahabharata. In many Vaishnava traditions, Rama is identified as Vishnu’s seventh major avatar.
