Who is Mairavana?

Mairavana, also known as Ahiravana, is a demon king and sorcerer in some Ramayana versions, particularly prominent in later adaptations. As an ally of Ravana, he kidnaps Rama and Lakshmana to offer them as sacrifices in his netherworld realm. Hanuman undertakes a daring mission to rescue them, ultimately defeating Mairavana by extinguishing his five life lamps simultaneously. This episode highlights the themes of devotion and good triumphing over evil.
