How did Lord Ram end his avatar?

 

Lord Ram is the 7th incarnation of Lord Vishnu, Greatest of all, the Maryada Purushottam, the Legendary Warrior, killer of the Great Kumbhakaran and Ravan, the Great Son, the Great Husband, the Great Brother, the Great King and the Great Lord.

He took the human form and came to Earth in Treta Yug to teach humans about how to live a life with great morals and principles. He did many great deeds and taught us many things while being on Earth. His rule as a king is known as Ram Rajya which is a paradigm of ruling a kingdom.

When Mata Sita took Earth Mausoleum(Dharti Samadhi) and went back to Vaikuntha, Ram was left alone on the planet. His life's purpose and goals were fulfilled for which he took incarnation. So, Kala took the form of a sage and went to Ayodhya to meet Ram. He met Ram and asked him to talk privately without anyone disturbing them. He put a condition in front of Ram that if anyone disturbs them while their conversation, then Lord Ram has to order a death sentence to that person. Upon which Lord Ram accepted and appointed Laxman as the watchman. Kala came back to his real form and started confronting Ram about the message of Lord Brahma about his completion of Life's purpose and to return Vaikuntha.

Later Rishi Durvasa who is a great sage and famous for his anger and curse came to Ayodhya to meet Ram. When he was entering the premises, Laxman greeted him and asked him to wait as Lord Ram was already in a meeting. Due to this Rishi Durvasa started becoming angry and started threatening about cursing Ayodhya for this deed. Laxman didn't wanted this so he went inside to inform Ram about the visit of Rishi Durvasa even after knowing what would happen to him to save his kingdom from curse.

When he entered, he saw Kala in his real form who got shocked to see Laxman and vanished on seeing him. He informed Ram about the visit of Rishi Durvasa. But Ram became very sad as he was bound to follow the oath he took before meeting Kala. He discussed this with his ministers in court and decided to expell Laxman from Ayodhya forever and ordered him to live his remaining life in forest away from world. This punishment was treated equal to death sentence.

But Laxman didn't wanted to live away from his brother and Lord Ram and later took water mausoleum(Jal Samadhi). When Ram got to know about it, he too decided that he wont live on Earth anymore after his wife and brother left him and decided to end his life.

Before ending his life, he divided his kingdom in four parts and handed over a part of his kingdom to his sons Luv and Kush and remaing three parts to his brothers Bharat, Laxman and Shatrughn sons.

After that he too took water mausoleum(Jal Samadhi) in the river Sarayu along with many of his followers taking the same with him. He went back to Vaikuntha after ending his human form where Goddess Laxmi(Mata Sita) and Sheshnag(Laxman) were waiting for him already.
