The second characteristic of Sita is purity. Sita’s loyalty is also seen when Hanuman, the hero of monkey kingdom, offers to carry her out of captivity, but she refuses the offer because she cannot allow any other man to touch her except Rama. This, however, does not make her change her mind. Ravana detains her, and has her guarded heavily. King Ravana demands that Sita accept his marriage proposal, but she declines because of her loyalty to Rama. Her loyalty is seen in the book again, when she is abducted by the demonic Ravana, who is king of Lanka, to avenge his demon sister’s disfiguring. When Rama tells Sita not to follow him into exile, she replies that where her husband Rama dwells is home to her, and she cannot remain behind in the kingdom because it would be like hell for her to stay without Rama. When Rama is exiled from the Ayodhya kingdom by his father king Dasharatha, Sita follows her husband into the forest. One characteristic of Sita is that she is loyal to her husband Rama. The first praise worthy female character is Sita, who is Rama’s wife. This paper reflects on the characteristics of the praiseworthy and antagonist female characters who opposed Rama. And One Must Never Forget That Ego Kills.The story has several female characters that are either praise worthy or antagonistic. Temples related with Ravana in India are Ravana Mandir Bisrakh,Koteshwar Temple Gujarat,Vidisha Ravangram Temple and Murudeshwara Temple has Ravana Statue, Koneswaram temple of Sri Lanka is one of the most famous Ravana temple in the world.Īs a conclusion: The heroism of the hero is proportional to the greatness of the villain. There are several temples in India where Ravana is worshipped and associated with Lord Shiva at some places. It was Ravana and his brother Kumbhakarana, who performed penance, got miraculous powers from Lord Brahma and drove out Kuber to occupy the golden kingdom of Lanka. When Lord Rama killed Ravana, who was on his last breath, Rama instructed his brother Lakshmana to go to Ravana and learn the art of statecraft and diplomacy from the dying demon king. Ravana was a great practitioner of statecraft(the skillful management of state affairs statesmanship.). At the time of the Ramayana, set several years later, Ravana is shown as dominating all human and divine races – so much so that he can command the sun's rising and setting. By force he gained command over the devas, celestials, and the serpent races. Proceeding to the heavens, Ravana fought and defeated the devas, singling out his brother for particular humiliation. Kubera at one point chastised Ravana for his cruelty and greed, greatly angering him. Ravana defeated Indra and the gods, Surya, Varuna and Yama. Conquering several kingdoms of the human world, he performed the suitable sacrifices and was crowned Emperor. He became supreme overlord of all Asuras in the three worlds, making an alliance with the Nivatakavachas and Kalakeyas, two clans he was unable to subdue. Conquering the netherworld completely, he left his brother Ahiravana as king.
#IN THE RAMAYANA THE DEMON KING RAVANA WAS PROTECTED BY SERIES#
His abilities now truly awe-inspiring, Ravana proceeded on a series of campaigns, conquering humans, celestials and other demons. The nectar of immortality, stored under his navel, dictated that he could not be vanquished for as long as it lasted. Ravana asked for immortality, which Brahma refused to give, but gave him the celestial nectar of immortality. At last, Brahma, pleased with his austerity, appeared after his 10th decapitation and offered him a boon. Each time he sliced his head off a new head arose, thus enabling him to continue his penance. During his penance, Ravana chopped off his head 10 times as a sacrifice to appease him. Ravana performed an intense penance (or tapasya) to Brahma, lasting several years. Ravana's grandfather, the sage Pulastya, was one of the ten Prajapatis or mind-born sons of Brahma and one of the Saptarishi (Seven Great Sages Rishi) He is considered as the most revered devotee of Lord Shiva. Though demon king Ravana is the prime antagonist character in the epic Ramayana, yet most of the people are not aware of his background, his conquests and his erudite knowledge. No where in Ramayana, written by Valmiki, the writer of the epic, Rama was mentioned as God. Posts with unsourced content may be edited or deleted. Want to improve this post?
