DescriptionPerforming the role of King Ravana.jpg |
This is a shot of an artist who was performing the role of King Ravana on the eve of Dushera Festival. Legend :- In Hindu mythology, Ravana (Devanagari: रावण, IAST Rāvaṇa; sometimes transliterated Raavana and as Ravan) is the principal antagonist of the Hindu epic, the Ramayana. According to Ramayana, he was a king of Lanka many thousands of years ago. Ravana is depicted in art with up to ten heads, signifying that he had knowledge spanning all the ten directions. His ten heads also earned him the name "Dasamukha" (The ten-faced) and "Dasagriva" (The ten-headed) Although the stories tell of a person with 10 heads, it can be translated to someone capable of doing 10 men's work. Taking into consideration, the thinking ability of the king, who is said to have made a prosperous land during his time. The myths tell of a wagon which flew by air, named "Dandu-Monara". Still, the location names in Sri Lanka match to the description of a landing zone of such a vehicle, "Wariyapola", (The place where airbourne carriages land) is one such place, which has contuors of a plateu, ideal for landing an airplane. |
