Ravana, a mighty king with ten heads, was devoted to Shiva. Shiva guaranteed that Ravana could not be killed by anyone except the lord Shiva. Ravana had many great characteristics that made him powerful. He was brave, smart, courageous, and an expert with many different weapons. He also had supernatural powers. He was able to fly, become invisible, and throw rain, fire, and a thousand arrows. His downfall was his many weaknesses, including selfishness, pride, anger, hatred, and jealousy. His goal was to rule the world as king (Ramayana worksheet from class).

In the epic Ramayana, Ravana abducts Sita, the beautiful wife of Rama. Ravana wants revenge because Rama has killed many demons and he has disrespected Ravana’s sister by cutting off her nose and ears. In the end, Rama killed Ravana and saves Sita. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHqP_Z3hdOU
