According to Hindu epic, Ravana (IAST : Rāvaṇa; / ˈrɑːvənə) was a demon king^[1] of the island of Lanka.

In the Ramayana, Ravana is described as a symbol of evil, though a learned scholar well versed in the Vedas. He appears as the primary antagonist, and is said to be the most revered devotee of Shiva, with his image being associated with him at some places. He also appears in several Buddhist and Jain texts.
