He is often depicted with ten heads, symbolizing his immense knowledge and power. Raavan is a complex character, revered by some for his devotion to Shiva and his scholarly abilities, while also being criticized for his abduction of Sita, the wife of Rama. In the Ramayana, Raavan's actions lead to a great conflict between him and Rama, who is considered an incarnation of the god Vishnu. The story culminates in a battle where Raavan is ultimately defeated, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. His character serves as a reminder of the duality of human nature and the consequences of unchecked ambition.
