King Ravanan, the ten-headed demon king of Lanka, is a central figure in Hindu mythology, known primarily as the antagonist of the epic Ramayana. He was a powerful warrior, a great scholar, and a devout Shiva devotee. However, his arrogance and lust led him to abduct Sita, the wife of Lord Rama, triggering a war that ultimately led to his downfall. Ravanan's story serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of pride and the abuse of power.
