Ravana, the Demon King, is the feared antagonist in Ramayana, one of the oldest Sanskrit epics to date. The Demon King clashes with the hero Rama, who is actually the 7th rebirth of the renowned Hindu god Vishnu. Legend says that the Demon King stole Rama's wife to avenge his sister, who had previously been rejected and humiliated by Rama. Although he was equipped with lethal weapons in each of his twenty hands, Ravana could not avoid his inevitable end when he was mortally wounded by one of Rama's arrows.
