11 Lamps Lit On Ravana’s Head Maheswar

Furious Ravana picked up a fight with Karthaviryarjuna.

Ravana was defeated.

The mighty Sahasrarjuna with the 1000 arms pinned Ravana to the ground. Then he placed 10 lamps on his heads and one on his hand. After tying up Ravana, Sahasrarjuna dragged him home and tied him up to the cradle pole of his son. A humiliated Ravana stayed prisoner until his release was secured.

Even today, the Sahasrarjun temple at Maheshwar lights 11 lamps in memory of the event.

Suppressed Ramayana Hanuman Ramayana

Vedas mention Rama and Ramayana mentions Vedas.

Which is earlier?

I shall be posting on this interesting subject.

Now to many Ramayanas.

Valmiki is called the Adi Kavi and the Ramayana is the Adi Kavya-the first Literary work(of Mankind)

Yet there is a version of Ramayana considered older than Ramyana .

And it was suppressed so that one Valmiki Ramayana gets prominence.
