In Hindu mythology, Ravana was known as Dashanana (meaning 'ten-headed' or 'ten-faced'). He was the king of Lanka and the primary antagonist in the Ramayana epic. Ravana was a learned Brahmin and a great devotee of Lord Shiva, but his ego and actions led to his eventual defeat at the hands of Lord Rama. Dasaratha was Rama's father, Kubera is the god of wealth, and Rama is the hero of the Ramayana.
