The enigma of Ravana: What his ten heads represent
Ravana, Lanka’s ten-headed king, embodies a complex interplay of intellect and vice. His ten heads symbolize both vast knowledge and inherent flaws. Lust, pride, and ego fueled his destructive actions, ultimately leading to his downfall against Lord Rama. Each head lost in battle represents the defeat of a vice, culminating in Vijayadashami’s triumph of good over evil.
