अधर्म पर धर्म की जीत का पर्व, विजयादशमी की अनंत शुभकामनाएँ!


Namaste! Welcome to Did you know? Series with Amish Tripathi. Today on this Dussehra, let’s learn a little more about Raavan and not only see him as the demon king, but as a complex figure that he was—respected in some temples for his knowledge, music, and devotion to Lord Shiva.


Travel across India, from Rajasthan to Tamil Nadu, and find Raavan’s story told with not just one shade but many—not always as a villain, but as a scholar, ruler, and tragic hero. His brilliance brought wealth to Lanka, but his pride and flaws led to his fall. Even in defeat, his last moments gave us lessons on wisdom and humility.


Raavan’s journey reminds us: arrogance undoes greatness, and often our real enemy is within. His story is a mirror for all—can we master ourselves before judging others?
