Hanuman

If you ask me, Hanuman is the real superhero, a saviour, a terminator, a superman. Hanuman, the son of wind was the master of magical powers. His enormous devotion to Rama, his valour in the battle of Lanka and his supernatural ability to bring ‘Sanjeevni’ to revive Lakshmana made him the most popular character in the Ramayana. He kills the Pataal King Ahiraavan, destroys the army of Rakshas (Demons), set Lanka on fire

Raavan

A story is incomplete without a Villain. Raavan, the ten-headed King of Lanka plays it pretty well in the Ramayana. He was a powerful demon king who loved to disturb the penances of ancient Rishis. He was first known person who started the racket of kidnapping and abduction according to Hindu mythology. He abducted Sita, the wife of Rama.

Lakshmana

The ‘Angry Young Man’ and hot-blooded warrior, Lakshmana was the brother of Rama. He turned out to be a deathful nightmare for all those who provoked him. His cutting off Shoorpanakha’s nose was the turning point in the epic. He killed Indrajeet who was the most powerful demon in the army of Lanka. His mindless devotion towards his elder brother Rama is often regarded as an example in the Hindu Mythology.

Angad

He was the son of monkey king Bali. Angad handled the portfolio of external affairs in the cabinet of Sugreev. He went to Raavan’s court as the messenger of Lord Rama. He positioned his foot strongly on the ground in Raavan’s court and threw a challenge that if any person present in the court managed to uproot his foot, then Ram would lose the battle and return back without Sita. Each and every demon in the Raavan’s army attempted to raise his foot but no one succeeded.
