In the movie slumdog millionaire, Jamal is a contestant on the show Who Wants to be a Millionaire. He is asked many questions that he is able to relate to his life experiences, even though he grew up in the slums and works as a chai wallah. In one of his questions he is asked what weapon Lord Rama holds in his right hand. Jamal can relate this back to when he was living in the slums and witnessed a boy who was dressed up as Lord Rama.
Lord Rama is significant in Indian culture because he is known as one of the deities, or supernatural immortal beings that are known as holy or divine. He lived as a human and is known to have been a perfect human and ideal man. Lord Rama in Hinduism is also known as the Lord of Self-Control or the Lord of Virtue. He is found holding a bow and arrow to signify that he is ready to destroy evil.
