He is the king of Lanka, a powerful island kingdom, and is often depicted as a formidable antagonist. Ravana is described as a ten-headed and ten-armed demon, with immense strength and magical abilities. He is known for his beauty, wealth, and political acumen, which made him a formidable ruler.

Ravanas primary antagonist is Rama, the prince of Ayodhya, who is exiled to the forest by his father, King Dasharatha. Ravana, captivated by Rama's beauty and valor, decides to abduct Rama's wife, Sita, in an attempt to marry her. This act sets off a chain of events that lead to the epic battle between Rama and Ravana.

However, he is also depicted as a man of honor and duty, who is willing to fight for what he believes in. His character is a reflection of the moral and ethical dilemmas that are central to the Ramayana.

In the end, Ravana is defeated by Rama, who retrieves Sita and restores peace to Lanka. Ravana's death marks the end of his reign and the beginning of a new era in Lanka. His legacy continues to be a subject of study and interpretation in Hindu mythology and literature.
